SNOW!

This afternoon I had to take Sophie outside, and Caius desperately wanted to come with me. I told him it would be okay if he came out on the deck with me, but he had to put his boots on first. I went out and heard him opening the coat closet and pull some things out. Eventually he came out, wearing MY boots. He opened the door and stepped out with a big silly grin on his face, knowing he looked ridiculous. My Caius is a joker! I just laughed at him and let him come out. He took off into the snow but got stuck, and I think he was getting a little cold. I think he decided, "Forget this, I'm going inside!" Then he left the boots making sure to show me they were still out there saying, "Boots! Get them!" on his way to the door.

Caius is a pretty adventurous little boy. It was cold, but I think he thoroughly enjoyed this impromptu run through the snow. Neal tells me, he sometimes would run around outside in his underwear as a child (and into his mischievous teenage years). Just for fun! (I won't post any pictures of Neal's outdoor underwear excursions, though I'm sure I could dig some up...)
