Last year we bought Sydney a little sled for Christmas, but there was only one day that we actually got to take her out for a ride in it. And on that day we were really pushing it for there to be enough snow to justify the effort. Well, in the last week we have finally gotten enough snow on the ground that you can "play" in the snow.
At the park near our house there are some VERY tiny hills that we thought we could introduce the idea of sledding to Sydney. However, yesterday when Brad said that he would take Sydney to the park to play with her sled we again learned that Sydney interprets our words literally. Therefore, when Brad went over to the park with her she wanted nothing to do with the sled. To her it really meant that she was playing on the slide & swings at the park. Obviously we are going to have to "position" it differently if we want her to give sledding a fair shake.
She did embrace the idea of snow angels, but truly to play outside you are making her happy as a clam to just give her a shovel. Let's see if she is as eager to shovel the snow when she is old enough to do it as a "chore".
