by We had our first snow day yesterday – not even halfway through December!
Turner Hall put on afternoon activities for the kids – pizza and bowling. I absolutely love living in a small town where last minute activities can be thrown together like this. $5 for pizza and bowling is great, but the mental break we all get by allowing our ten year old to escape a couple blocks away? That’s priceless. For the adults AND the children!
Meanwhile, I felt that AJ needed to experience the snow. But coming off of being sick and knowing he doesn’t tolerate the cold well, I didn’t want to risk taking him outside.
So we brought the snow inside instead!
I did make him wear gloves. He really wasn’t sure what to think at first.
He eventually decided it was safe to taste test… And his nurse helped make a snowball that they played catch with until it fell apart.
All-in-all, the snow was a win. He truly has been doing so much better at sensory activities lately, and this was a great example of that.
My carpet got a little wet – I’m sure a more on top of it mom would have thought to move to the kitchen floor instead – but he had fun.
In the midst of a way-too-early-in-the-year snow day, it was just what I needed to remember that snow isn’t actually the root of all evil – even if the general consensus on social media seems to say so!
