First Snowfall

Justin experienced his first snowfall this morning. Granted, 20 minutes later the sun was back out as if it never happened... but the flurries did last long enough for him relish the occasion. At first, his reaction was the same one that he had some months ago we when took him outside to be in the rain for the first time... "okay... so.... why are we out here again?"... However, slowly but surely his facial expression started to change and you could see his sudden acknowledgment that this was a little bit different. And so he just stood there grinning, watching the snow flakes fall and vanish one by one. Very cool moment...

That is... until he snapped out of his stupor, realized that it was brutally cold, his feet were wet and slowly freezing over, and he hadn't eaten breakfast yet. And with that the love affair was over, he began to cry, and it was off to school for both of us.

Fun while it lasted though.
