Snow Hats in the Yard

This week you got some new shoes, which for some reason you declared tonight were your snow shoes. Was that because you'd gotten out your winter hat, aka snow hat? Dunno, but you were quite determined to rock the shoes and hat outside.

From Snow Hat

This particular hat, you may well remember, is all stretched out, it is one of your very favorite things after all. So over time it falls over your eyes, and you don't bother pulling it back up. So you walk around with your head cocked back so you can see. It is pretty comedic.

Here you are showing off a great view of both the snow hat and the snow shoes.

So while I got the grill ready for yummy Friday dinner, you got part of your rock collection out, got behind your (ahem) counter, and asked 'May I help you?' every 20 seconds, all the while not being able to see.

Then it was time to water the patio. You are really good at that, but you were a little ticked off when I wouldn't give you any more water. We'd need a distraction.

Thankfully, there was a rocket. Not a real rocket, but a foam toy one. You're a sucker for rockets.

It has an elastic lead on the top, and you can launch it with your finger. Well, I can launch it with my finger. But you give it a good try, and you're getting better. Tonight it actually flew! Not that you were going to see it.

Finally, you let me shoot it up in the air, and even pushed your hat up so you could see it come down. We did the standard 10-count, followed by an enthusiastic "IGMISSION!!!"

It was pretty cool. Then mom found a ladybug hiding in our new lettuce, and she brought it out so you could see it. You pointed at her and talked to her for a while, concerned that she was going to go 'the right way up the hill' - thankfully, she went the right way.

And that was all in about 5 minutes! I can't imagine how your Momma keeps up with you all day. But you sure are fun to come home to!
