Warming up to the cold.

Reid has been the last of us to warm up to the idea of the cold. The big bulky coat makes it difficult to maintain his very active lifestyle. He doesn't understand the necessity of wearing socks and shoes, so he's persistent about prying them off (after Mom takes great time and care to put them on.) We won't even go into mittens. There's a time and a place for wearing them, and that's not on Reid's agenda.

But today, we had a breakthrough. Perhaps we've rounded the corner, and Reid is warming up to the cold! Luke had a snow day from school, so we decided to take advantage of the fresh powder and go sledding with our new super cool sled from Papa. We bundled up and headed over to the sledding spot. Luke took a few solo runs on the new sled, which gets 2 thumbs up because it has much better control and doesn't tip over!!

Before we knew it, Reid was climbing on the sled ... ready to go! Guess he didn't want to miss out on the fun. So he took some rides with Mom, a few with Luke, and some with all 3 of us. In all, Reid was loving it and giggling away. It was all fun and games until big brother Luke decided to put snow down an unsuspecting Reid's coat. Brotherly love at its best!

Ready, set, sled!
