Ummmmm....snow?! SNOW?!!! Apparently I saw this stuff last winter, but to be honest I can't remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday, so at this point snow is entirely new to me.
I recently woke up from an excellent night's sleep and was brought into Mama and Dada's room for our daily morning routine. There was no hint as to the wonderland that had developed outside their window between bedtime and wakeup. We went about our usual schedule of snuggles, storybooks and the good morning song, and then Mama opened the curtains. Holy Nananas it was a new world! Everything was covered in a white fluffy blanket! I was desperate to leap from the window to grab all of it, smoosh all of it, taste some of it, and smoosh all of it some more! This was sadly not possible as I have yet to figure out how to get directly from the confines of Mama and Dada's bed to their floor, never mind to the outside of their window.
Luckily for me, later that morning Mama bundled me up in the stroller for a walk through the magic. While it was truly breathtaking, I was only able to observe the snow from a tantalizingly close-yet-all-too-far distance. The best part was when we got back in and the stroller wheels were covered in snow. All it took was a split second of Mama with her back turned for me to grab a handful and smoosh it. And boy did I smoosh it...on the entranceway tiles, on my face, in my hair, on the wall... Here's an unexpected piece of information: snow is cold water in disguise. You might be expecting to cover everything in luxurious cloud-like fluff, but you'll end up soggy and shivering because snow instantaneously dissolves into cold water upon smooshing. Another unexpected piece of information: under the snow covering the stroller wheels is a fine layer of dirt that has turned to mud. Nine out of ten Mamas agree that this is great for smearing (in case you are wondering, unfortunately MY mama is the one in ten who disagrees).
Bottom Line: WHEEE!!! Let it snow, let it snow, let it...MUD!!!!!
