'Snow fun at all

After spending most of yesterday morning lazing around the house, I started to go a little stir-crazy. And though we've had several dustings of snow over the last few weeks, yesterday was the first time there was any accumulation to speak of. So, with that in mind, plus an adorable little snowsuit that was a gift from Anne which has been sitting in Liam's closet for almost a year now, just begging to be put to use... I bundled Liam up and took him outside to experience winter firsthand.

This was, of course, a terrible decision. First, although Liam has had a couple of cheerful, normal days since the awful teething episode earlier this week (weird or what?), he put up an awful fight as I was getting him into the snowsuit. Then, by the time I got him outside, the wind had picked up; and it really wasn't pleasant outdoor-playtime weather. And finally, the whole thing reminded me of Randy from A Christmas Story (that's the little brother's name, isn't it??) - because Liam was unable to even sit up for more than a few seconds at a time once he was in the suit. This is how he actually spent most of his time outdoors:

So, after all of two minutes and about five pictures, we went back inside, turned the TV back on, and ate some shortbread (me) and prunes (him) while we watched Miracle on 34th Street and played with his stacking rings. And that was a much more fun way to pass the day.
