First Snow!

Brooke had school this AM, and she decided to try and sleep in. I went in to wake her up, and gave her a few moments to sort herself out. She must have thought it was a special occasion since I woke her (we usually let her do her own thing).

"turkey time?" she said to me.

I explained that turkey day had passed and that today was actually a school day.

"no school. Santa?".

We have been talking up the holidays by order - Halloween ended, we told her Turkey Day was next. Since Thanksgiving we have been talking about Christmas. I told her Santa would be coming pretty soon.

"presents. One Mommy. One Daddy. One Baby Ryan..."

You can tell she has been listening to us, and picking out the stuff that's most appealing ;)

We have breakfast and get ready for school. On our way out I open the door and ask her what she sees outside. She looks around. I ask what is falling from the sky.

"snow!"

We have also been gearing her up for the snow. She obviously doesn't personally remember it, but we show her a video of her in the snow from last year. She also points out the snow in commercials, books, pictures, etc.

She takes a step outside, blows a kiss into the air, and says

"I love you snow"

Needless to say, she is pretty excited about the snow. And from the rate it is falling right now, I better hurry up and get her some boots!

It's Ryan's first snow ever, but so far he is sleeping through the whole experience. He sleeps through a lot of stuff though ;)
