It snowed a week ago and the kids were delighted. Gemma in particular was enthralled with the snowy landscape.
Outfitting our family of 5 for snow play takes a little time and energy. Snow pants, gloves, hats and boots need to be located in the correct sizes for each person.
In my digging through the plastic tote that houses our winter gear, I pulled out a ton of stuff including some hot pink rainboots that are a little too big for Amelia still. Gemma was instantly in love. She insisted upon wearing the immediately. She stomped around the house, stumbling when the too big boots tripped her up.
I eventually located enough gear for everyone to go out and play, including Gemma. We had a pair of older navy blue boots in her size leftover from William. I got everyone dressed and out the door except Gemma. Gemma would not be separated from her pink rainboots. I tried multiple times without success. Finally, I took her own in her snowsuit and pink rainboots. They weren't as warm as the snow boots would have been and it was hard for her maneuver with the big sized boots, but she was happy as a clam!
