What a Difference a Day Makes

Yesterday Brynnlee and I went outside and played in the snow. Brynnlee walked and walked through the snow. But this is what it looks like now. Where has all the snow gone? After a cold, snowy day, the weather sure changed. Today the temperature is over forty and all the snow is disappearing. The weather is a little crazy here in Colorado Springs. At least Brynnlee had a chance to play in the snow!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

As I pulled out the snow pants, boots, hat, scarf, and gloves, Brynnlee knew something was going on. I continued to get ready, putting my coat on, pulling my hair in pig tails, and finding my own scarf, hat, and gloves. Brynnlee picked up the snowpants looking at them curiously and began following me around with them in hand.

I have been waiting for this day for awhile....the first day Brynnlee played in the snow. There have been a couple of problems standing in my way. First, we didn't have any snow boots for Brynnlee. That was solved by my mother-in-law who nicely gave us a pair. Second, it hasn't snowed here all January. Well finally the snow is here.

I bundled Brynnlee up as much as possible and took her out. She just walked around in the snow not really knowing what to do. I showed her a snowball, which she wasn't very interested in. I showed her how to sit and mess with the snow. She still didn't care. I showed her how to kick the snow. Finally that was something she was interested in. She walked and kicked and walked all over in the snow. She loved it. How do I know? She screamed when we went back in! What a fun time....

A Dog Says Woof

Brynnlee LOVES dogs. So over our Christmas vacation-which we spent in Utah-she was in heaven. Both of her {GRANDMAS} have dogs. She followed them around trying to pet and feed them. I know they didn't love it, but Brynnlee sure did. Brynn especially LOVED Aunt Rylie's dog {RAYE}. She threw his ball-and by throw I mean put it in his mouth forcefully. Now that we are home she says hi to every dog she sees outside. AND she woofs at ALL animal food commercials--yes even when she sees a cat. The BEST of all is she now answers the question: "Brynnlee, what does a dog say." Her little {woof, woof, woof} is adorable.
