Sledding 201 (ALSO FAIL)

After my last disastrous attempt to take Ryan sledding, I decided to take a less is more approach in the hopes that he would be less freaked out by a smaller hill in a familiar setting. We packed up the warm clothes, the sled and Baby Jack and headed over to Jena's house to scoot down the little slope in her backyard.

I knew from the get-go that it would not work out any better than last time:

Full-on toddler fit

Jack, however, did not seem bothered by the 18 degree temperatures.

Jena and David attempt to pack down the snow to make a nice sled run.

Ryan decided he could be outside as long as he wasn't actually standing in or touching (or being touched by) snow, so he perched on the metal patio chair. He also refused to keep his mittens on (he is 2, after all!).


Again, Jack was pretty unperturbed by the whole thing.


Finally we gave up and headed back inside, where David got to practice being a big brother (his little sibling will arrive in late April).
