Playing in the snow

Luke LOVES playing outside. He could run around outside for hours and be content. He loves it so much that we have to be very careful when saying the "o" word (outside) around him because if we let it slip without actually wanting to take him outside (because it is freezing!) he will walk to the door and cry until one of us takes him out or until we let him cry it out of his system. I am just counting down the days until the warm weather is back. But for now, we have snow again. So today we were walking from the house to our car to go to the store and he really wanted out of my arms and down to the ground to run around in the snow. He hasn't played in the snow much this year yet, we don't really have snow gear for him so we've kind of tried to keep him at a distance from it. But today we let him go at it for a little bit. He had lots of fun stomping around in the snow, touching it, and luckily he only fell down in it once but that didn't phase him at all. It wasn't the warmest day but it was bright and sunny so his few minutes in the snow weren't cold ones. I feel bad I didn't have his coat on, but because it was so sunny I just put his vest on thinking we were going straight from the house to the car. Oh well, he didn't seem to mind!
