Our plan was to, at some point, get the kids out sledding. It is entirely pathetic that Jesse has yet to go sliding. He really only started enjoying snow this year, and the temperatures have just been so cold or stormy on the weekends, or the kids were sick, or we had plans.... BUt finally a decent weather weekend lined up with a bit of free time.
Sunday after naps, we decided just Dave would take Jesse. Janna and Robyn were just waking up from naps, and I needed to make supper. Jesse was all geared up, and the boys went to a hill just a 5 minute walk away.
Well, JEsse is my sensitive soul! And he is incredibly cautious. So, apparently Dave had to stick him on the sled and push him down by himself, as Jesse was humming and hawing over making the plunge. No tears or anything. He said it was fun, but then said he had his own idea after this for going down the hill.
SO, for the next half hour, Jesse scooted down the hill inch by inch on his butt. No sled needed. Dave said it would take him like 5 minutes(beaming!) and then he would climb back up and do it again.
Here are some shots of the turkey!
What a nut! We'll have to attempt this again with all 3, and maybe Janna's daring spirit and glee will inspire him to do some more "real" sledding. Thanks for reading! I'm Out:)
What a character. :)
