Peter is an absolute eskimo. He hates jackets, hats, gloves, etc. No matter the level of cold, he absolutely refuses to put them on. He seems unbothered by cold. On Sunday it snowed for the first time and he wanted to go out with Christian and play. I wouldn't let him go until he put on snow clothes. Granted, it was so little snow, it probably didn't matter, but I thought that it was a great chance to set the standard that when it's snowing, we wear warm clothes. Luckily, seeing Christian wear boots, jacket, snow pants, etc. convinced him to do the same. When he finally got it all on, he was so delighted by how he looked, that he pranced in front of the mirror for a while before going out. Again today, also, the one time I managed to get him in a jacket, he immediately said, "Go look in mirror!" and ran off to admire himself first. I agree, he is adorable.
The boys and I had a wonderful time playing. Christian got out his homemade pvc marshmallow gun and we had a blast shooting it, especially from high up in the tree fort. Peter discovered the delight of snatching a few and eating them before (and after) they become ammunition. Let the winter fun begin!
