Back to Reality

We returned from vacation and have had a couple of decent snow storms to welcome us back to the Ohio Winter.
Corinne has gone from dresses, bathing suits and shorts & t-shirts to boots, layers, coats, hats & gloves!
Her snow boots make her feet look huge! But, they keep the cold and snow off of her feet. She has learned the difference between snow boots, rain boots and 'fashion' boots; whenever we are walking outside she will ask me about her footwear to see if it's alright for her to stomp around in the snow.Over the weekend we were over at Grandma Chris' house when Corinne decided she wanted to play outside (which she refers to as "out Kio's side" since we use the side door and play in the fenced backyard where Kio roams) for a little while. We got her all bundled up and braved the frosty weather. She played on the rings and laughed herself silly when she would drop to the ground.

There was even a dry swing so she requested to be pushed for at least 10 minutes. I was surprised at her endurance considering the temperature and the fact that the swing was creating wind right on her rosy cheeks!
Corinne and Uncle Scott started packing the snow to throw snow balls. I decided to head back inside to warm up. They came in soon after me; Corinne's gloves are not water proof and her poor little fingers were cold! She's a much better sport about playing in the cold and snow than I am, thank goodness she has other people around to enjoy the winter experience with!
