Melting Snow and Color Change Hot Wheels

Instead of playing outside in snow with brother, we brought some snow inside to explore.

She let me know it was "told" and that she liked stirring snow into warm water and making the snow be "all done". It was fun for me to watch her explore temperature and phase change.

She also enjoyed the color change hot wheels - a toy from her Dad's youth.

These small containers of water and you cars gave Elsa one solid hour of play!

Snow Play

You really enjoyed the Late February snows this year. You were 22 months old and it's basically the only deep snows you have experiences. We got 10 inches with drifts around 14 inches.

When Daniel was 18 months old it was February and we had two major snow falls a few months before you were born. He kind of liked the snow, but never played in it. He just shoveled and followed Daddy around. So we didn't expect you to want to play in the snow as much as you did.

You enjoyed sitting, walking, scooping, and sledding in the snow. You had a high tolerance for the cold and didn't mind having wet mittens. You stayed out for 45 minutes each time. You REALLY liked sledding and said WhEE and please??? Anytime we asked you about sledding. Because you are so light, you really could go far and fast!
