When friends rang me to say that they had a snow day and did Me & Oli want to go sledging with them I was quick to accept. We has not got round to sledging yet as everywhere was sold out when we went to buy one , even baby baths were all out of stock as they were being used as sledges!
I did feel slightly bad at first about taking Oli out , should I really take my 9 month out in it just so Mummy could have fun? But after exchanging my worries and recieving some great advice on I was reassured that the fresh air would be good for him and to get him used to it young! So I wrapped him tighter then a burrito wrap and made sure he had several pairs of socks on his feet and hands! (The socks stay on better then mittens!) .
I don't know what I was so worried about , he loved it! He made me giggle by cheekily blowing raspberries at some kids playing near by!
It looks like you had a blast! K is old enough to go on her own, but I still wander over just to watch. I haven't been on a sledge in years!
ReplyAww! How fun!
ReplyWhat adorable photos!!! I haven't seen that much snow since I lived in Chicago. Now I live in Dallas and it almost never snows. It actually snowed like 1 inch on Christmas day here and my boys were so excited they ran outside in their underwear before I could stop them!

I love sledging! And we have had plenty of snow that it's now becoming a bit boring! It has snowed almost everyday since before Christmas!
ReplyYes, I have friends who put socks on their toddlers hands instead of mittens because they do stay on better!
Sounds like great fun! We took Victor out for a walk in the fresh snow last year in February and he was only 7 months old. He loved it too. I think that if you are aware and wrap them well there is no reason not to take them out in this weather. Unless it is blizzard of course.
Reply@Tawny - I cant wait to get a sledge for next year!! I plan on buying one before it snows so I can get one before they all see out!
Reply@Mama Kayla - :D It was lots of fun!

@Perfectly Happy Mum - Yeah I dont think even I would attempt to go out in a blizzard!!
