Embracing Imperfection. Growing in Faith

February 26, 2013

{Share your Life} I love snow. I hate snow. I love snow.

Yesterday’s blizzard made PERFECT snow for a snowman.  So we thought we would take E out to play in the snow and build a snowman, which he was very excited about.   Until we stepped outside.

Then it became an epic fail.

At least for E.

 Mommy and Daddy had fun.

It took a bit for E to adjust to the brightness of the snow.  I had to coerce him out from his mittens.  I offered him sunglasses but he was to mad to respond with anything else but NO!  I offered him my hat, which was also followed with a big NO!  Eventually he decided it would be good to wear a hat, but only because it’s daddy’s.  Daddy’s hats are much cooler than Moms.

We were only outside for about 30 minutes, and E spent most of his time finding something to be upset about.

 Whether it was “I stuck, I stuck!!!” in the deep snow…

 Or falling on to his bottom.

He did have a few moments where he paused from his tears to help daddy with the snowman.

And to have a “snow bite” as he likes to call it.

And of course, an outside adventure wouldn’t be complete without a bite of dirt.

Whoops! (thankful for a soft landing!)

THAT’S IT!!! I HATE SNOW AGAIN!!

(And here I am, the stellar parent taking pictures of my crying child…)

Don’t be a mommy hater.  I snapped my picture and quickly came to his rescue.

Mom, please take me inside! I’ve had enough of the snow.

So we took our pic with our finished snowman and went inside.  And then E promptly had a meltdown because he wanted, in his words, “More snow!!! Outside!!! Play!!! Snow!!!!”

Whaaaat???  I’m confused.

Oh wait.  You’re two.  You always confuse me.  But I love you with all my heart!

Even if you love snow, hate snow, then love snow again.

snow is dead to me!

    That is such a cute post. I loved when you wrote, don’t be a Mommy hater. hahaha!
    Yeah, 2 year olds are extremely confusing. One minute they love you, the next they don’t want anything to do with you!

    I remember those exhausting toddler years well. For my daughter, the love/hate relationship was with her kiddie pool.

    Great snowman! (I love snow, but we never get it down here in Florida)

    I kind of feel the same way! No, I just hate it. No, it was really pretty when it was coming down. But now we have to clean up all those broken tree branches. But it’s really pretty. But it’s such a mess and people keep getting stuck in our driveway. But it looks gorgeous out there.

      I love snow so he gets no sympathy from his Momma 😉 I’m sure he’s glad someone relates to him though! Thanks for stopping by!!!
