1st Snow

I'm pretty sure Oliver is young enough that he has no previous memories of snow. His reactions to today's snow storm validate this theory. So, with the first real snow of the season today, Oliver had (another) first snow experience. So fun. When I first held him up to the window to check it out he looked at me like what in the world is that stuff. I explained that it was snow. The rest of the day he parroted "snow falling, snow falling" (most of the time without the s though).

He was quite keen on getting bundled up.

First in his big coat:

Later in his monster hat & gloves:

He was surprisingly good at keeping his gloves on. It was so freezing outside that I think he understood the value of being bundled. That and he really didn't like the snow on his face and I think he was glad the coats/hats were keeping it off the rest of him.

My personal opinion is that it is at least a few weeks too early for snow, and it is way too cold. But the snow is pretty and peaceful, it makes the world a bit quieter, which I appreciate.
