Snow...

We awoke this morning to a fresh dusting of snow on the ground. I noticed this when I made Lu her bottle at 6:00am. Fast forward as we leave for daycare...Miss Hayden is caring an armload of stuffed animals that she simply cannot leave the house without. I open the door to the deck and she carefully steps over the threshold and stops dead in her tracks. The animals fall to the ground as her little eyes scan the yard. She says, rather loudly and emphatically, "WHAT?! HAPPENED?!" Each word was slow and deliberate. I told her "It snowed". She looked around and said "Eet's snow. Eet's chilly. Eet's dirties." She picked up one of her stuffed animals and tentatively crunched across the deck mumbling about the snow.
