SNOW!

We've had lots of snow in Kentucky this winter. Colton really loves the white stuff but he has been too sick to go outside and play in it. His favorite thing is going sledding! He went back to school today and guess what they are learning about? You guessed it, snow!

After a meeting at the hospital to help start a local NICU support group (more on that later) I came to Nana and Pop's house to do craft time with Colton. We decided to make today an indoor snow day.

We played in the snow.

Tasted (that part wasn't planned) and talked about the snow. Colton can say "snow" and "cold".

Read about the snow.

And even made a snowflake picture.
Snow is fun and pretty but I'm pretty sure we aren't the only ones looking forward to Spring!

Snow is white and wet and cold.

The fact that Colton cannot see doesn't stop him from knowing what things look like, just like sighted children, he learns about things as he experiences them. The only difference is Mommy & Daddy (or whoever else is there) have to be his eyes for him. When you add what we tell him with what he can feel, smell, taste and hear, I think he gets a pretty good idea about all the amazing things God created on our planet.

We had about three inches of snow here in Kentucky this weekend. Last year we had snow but Colton was still to sick and little to go out and play in it. This year he got to experience the white, cold, wet, FUN stuff.He didn't care so much for playing in the snow but he LOVED sledding on top of it, with Daddy, Nana, Pops and cousin Miranda.He loved sledding so much than when it was time to come inwell, lets just say he was none too happy about it.
