Yesterday I posted pictures of Ellie playing in the snow. What I failed to tell you or show you was the details of the event.
It is March. This is the first big (5 inches-if you call that big) snow in years. So in buying Ellie's winter clothes I didn't even think twice about getting her a snow suit or boots. So when this snow came along I had to improvise.
The snow suit is acutally size 6 months, a rather big 6 months at that. If you look at this picture closely you can see that the arms and legs are a bit short. So to make up for this Ellie has two pairs of pants, two shirts, and a sweater underneath.
Instead of boots she is wearing sneakers. To make up for this she has two pairs of socks on. Since the socks are thick I could not velcro the top strap of her sneakers. So the top of her shoes became a catch all for snow. I had to clean that out every few minutes.
Her gloves are thin. So again two pairs. Well they are mittens. Have you ever tried to get a two year old to but their thumbs into the mitten thumb hole? Have you ever tried to do this with two pairs of gloves? Well needless to say Ellie couldn't really use her hands.
So as you can imagine Ellie reminded me of the kid in the Christmas story. The only good thing is that she is still in diapers.
Ellie wasn't phased by it at all. She was having too much fun the snow. So much so she has been asking for more.
