Snow was in the forecast so when I woke up at 7:30 Saturday morning, I immediately looked out the window with high hope. The forecast was indeed accurate as the ground was covered in a pretty white blanket of snow. After setting the alarm for 8:30, I went back to sleep on this cold and quiet morning. At the sound of the alarm an hour later, I hurried to get ready to take Cheng-Yu out into the snow...his first snow! I gathered his jacket, toboggan and the red rain boots that his cousins (Riley, Carson & Scout) passed down to him. As I scurried around, Scott began to wake up...Cheng-Yu was still sleeping right beside him. I urged Scott to look out at the snow and we were both anxious for Cheng-Yu to wake up so he could experience his first snow before it melted. It was going on 9:30 and he was still sound asleep. We put the clothes on him...STILL asleep. He woke up as we put on the big red boots. When we took him outside, he seemed amazed. Although, he may have just been in shock from the abrupt awaking. We had him out for about an hour. He was constantly looking down at the white stuff that gathered on his boots. I loved watching his facial expressions as the snow dropped from tree branches overhead. It was a magical December morning...the warmest snow I have ever known.
