So it snowed here recently in Walla Walla and we've had some good fun with a sled recently. It's hard on moms when it's cold outside because little ones get cooped up in the house and can't get outdoors as easily. So the times we do get outside take some prep work. This includes a snowsuit, hat, boots, and gloves. The only problem is... Arseny doesn't want to wear ANY of these items. For some reason he's terrified of his snowsuit and hates his gloves and boots. The only thing he will wear is his hat which he successfully puts on backwards everytime. So When we were going outside for a mommy and Arseny snowday, I calmly explained that if he wanted to go out he had to wear all items. The contemplation on his face was priceless! So began the tantrum and I'm sure you can envision a mom calmly stuffing her toddler into a snowsuit with all limbs flailing about.
We finally got outside and Arseny found that it wasn't so bad but the gloves were still and issue. He didn't like the way they felt when he rode his bike. He'd go to put his hands on the handlebars and inches before he touched them he'd scream and shake his hands because he wanted those darn things off. Everytime I turned around he was trying to get them off and a couple of times he succeeded but we'd go inside if he did take them off, have a "talk" and then he'd come back out with them on and we'd start all over again. It was exhuasting...and this was supposed to be a fun time with mommy to make a snowman and ride the sled. It turned out Mommy made the snowman and Arseny rode his bike on the sidewalk but was mad because the snow made it so the bike wouldn't go. OHHHH as you can guess a nap shortly followed this event. So here are our pictures of our snow day...keep an eye out in the last one...you'll see you know who finally getting those nasty gloves off!
