We had our first big snowfall today and we could not wait to get home today to play in the fresh stuff. It took a while to get Emma all bundled up, but she stayed outside longer than I thought she would. The best part of the whole adventure was when I finally got all the gear on, she fell flat on her back and laid there screaming, "Help me!" I couldn't stop laughing. It was like the scene from The Christmas Story ("I can't put my arms down"). We stomped through the snow to our neighborhood park to watch the kids sled. Fortunately, Miss Claire offered a ride to Emma. (I have Claire in class this year and had her big sister, Ella, last year.) Emma got right in and took her first sled ride. We asked her if it was fun and she said, "Yea!" We asked if she wanted to do it again and she said, "No!" I think she was enjoying watching more than sledding. Before we went inside, she made her first snow angel. When I told Emma to move her arms, she waved them in the air. It took a little help, but we made the angel. She was very proud of it.
I am excited to be sleeping in tomorrow due to our 2 hour delay. Ah-h-h! The life of a teacher in snowy Indiana. :)
