two weeks ago was our first snowfall. The car was parked in the driveway so as I was buckling Ladybug into her carseat, Butterfly had followed us outside much more slowly. She steps outside and looks around her. She races to my side and hides against me crying "What that?! What that?!" I tell her "it's okay, look, it's snow, look how pretty." I caught a few flakes on my hand and held it so she could see. "Oh wow" she whispers and studies my hand, reaching out to softly touch a flake. She gasped as it instantly melted and vanished. She stepped back and looked up at the sky again, "Look mommy! Snows! look at snows!" Amazing how incorrect grammer can be so cute when coming from someone so small and so delighted by something as simple as snow.
It snowed again today. She opened the shutters and knelt down, resting her chin on folded arms on the window sill. "Look mommy, snows. snows so pretty."
