We just thought of this about two weeks ago...and we started letting Hunter go play in the snow on the deck. We brought up some shovels and buckets from the sandbox. He'll spend anywhere from 20-40 minutes out there by himself playing. It's awesome b/c he can't go anywhere and I lock him out and just tell him to knock when he wants to come in (so I can help him get his stuff off before ruining my kitchen floor!) It's a great way to be able to make dinner in peace...plus, thanks to his pre-school he can get himself completely dressed and undressed to go outdoors by himself!
When he knocks to come in we'll say "Don't you want to go fill up that bucket with snow again?" It usually works once or twice before he wants to come in for real.
Jack stands and watches him at the window...poor baby!
Too bad all the snow has melted on the deck yesterday and today, but I won't be complaining about the milder weather one bit!
