Say "No" to 'No

Last week we got our first BIG snow of the year. While Taryn saw snow last year, she didn't really understand what it was. All morning Taryn pointed out the window. We told her it was SNOW and she kept calling it "NO". She talked about the "NO" all morning, so Lee and I decided to bundle her up in her new snowsuit and take her out.
What seemed so awesome from inside the house, was not so cool when she was outside in it. She didn't want to touch the snow. Lee, being Lee was determined to get her into the snow.
There were some tears...
So, instead of getting her used to the snow slowly, Lee decided to try to turn her swing into a sled and pull her around the yard. Does this have "America's Funniest Home Videos" written all over it or what? That or "Taryn in therapy over her fear of snow".
Moral of the story... "NO" is only awesome from inside the nice cozy house!

I agree with T. Snow is only good from inside the house

Addie didn't love snow until last winter...right now she's begging to go outside in the freezing cold with our 2 inches of snow - I am the one saying NO!
