Woo hoo!...It snowed here for the first time since December of last year. Earliest snow ever for SE Texas....Thomas had never seen snow while we were in Alaska so this was new and required caution initially. He still doesn't really know what to make of it, but knows it is cold and wet and he didn't like falling over in it. Then again it wasn't like we had toddler snow clothes on hand for the one snow event we get a year here. 
We did dress him up not once, not twice, but three times and take him out as different relatives arrived and wanted to experience it with him. I had forgotten from my time with the Anchorage School District how much work that was getting a toddler geared up for wet cold snow! The first step, as you see above, is finding the right footwear.(or in this case, the closest thing to "right"). Getting the jacket on was another story but this is about snow, not dressing toddlers.

Here he is being offered his first snowball.
He was so unsure about it I couldn't get him to even try eating it even after watching me eat some (and this little guy doesn't like missing meals any more than his dad). But as you can see he was a willing participant from the standpoint of casual observer...maybe next year's snow day will be a snowman and snowball fight..and some proper gloves!
