Snow!

Imogen was born on a snowy weekend, and today she got to see the white stuff properly. There was a bit before Christmas, but it's the real deal now.

It was white over this morning, so our morning walk with Buster was her first good look. And it didn't go too well. It wasn't snowing when we left and - and I know this might stupid - I sometimes forget how wet snow is, so I didn't put the rain cover on the pushchair. Imogen had the waterproof foot muff on, and I pulled the pushchair hood over her, but she didn't seem to like the snow on her face and cold hands didn't help - although that's her own fault for pulling the gloves off!

From inside the lounge she seemed fascinated by the snow falling and kept standing staring out of the balcony doors. So, after lunch, in a break in the snow fall we went out into the back garden with Buster. She did a lot of staring around, seemingly bemused by it all. I picked some up for her to have a feel of, but she didn't seem to like the chilliness of it! Buster enjoyed it though, although also seemed a little confused - and all the more so when I threw a snowball for him to chase and it disappeared when it landed!

I have seen kids being pulled around the village on sledges. Is Imogen too small for this? Would she stay sat on it? Would Buster try and get on it with her? And perhaps more crucially, will any shops have sledges left in stock?
