Lucas has read Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats many times, so he knew what to do with snow, but he also was a little but reserved about his first foray into the white stuff.
At first he was pretty excited about it all- pointing out how many things he recognized that were now covered in snow.
Sophie was such a cute snowbear that I almost ate her! 
Our neighbor, Satchel helped Lucas with his mittens and was hoping to introduce Lucas to the joys of sledding (but Lucas preferred to just watch).
Hmmm, snow is cold and wet. It's kinda cool, I guess.
Though Lucas enjoyed his first real winter experience, I couldn't convince him that his snowpants would keep him dry if he sat in the snow, and the neighbor kids couldn't convince him of the fun he could have playing in it. He was mainly just uncomfortable in all those winter layers, he didn't know how to use his hands with mittens on them, and his face was getting cold. So that was the end of that. He really is still a Texan boy. :) I think it will take more snowfalls and maybe another year for him to really appreciate snowy days.
