First snow & first playgroup
It started snowing yesterday afternoon & got heavier as the day went on. It started sticking to the ground just as we were out & about running our errands. I got Logan bundled up in his new winter coat. He reminded me of the little brother on "A Christmas Story" because he wouldn't move his arms. Then when he sat him in the shopping cart, he just fell over to the side. It was pretty funny.
Logan was pretty indifferent about the snow. He didn't really notice it falling on his face as we were getting in & out of the car. He did watch it fall on the back deck as he was eating dinner. Bill grabbed a snowball & brought it in the house. Logan patted it & broke it up into little pieces. Then he held it for a while. He mostly looked at it in curiosity.

This afternoon we went to our first playgroup date. It was pretty fun. There were about six or seven other kids running around. Logan was the youngest & the only crawler. The kids closest to his age were 12 & 13 months old. So he's not that far behind.

It took him a little while to warm up to everyone & being in a new house. As he got used to it, he crawled around & then played by other kids. I think he's still to young to actually play with them. He had a good time showing the other Moms the toys he found & sat on their laps for a bit. I was proud of him for lasting the hour & a half that he did. Not bad for the first time!

Those coat pictures are hilarious! I hope we get some snow this year--my boys love it but we rarely get enough to play in.

Congrats on the successful first playgroup visit!

That's great that you went to your first playdate. The first get together is always the worst, isn't it?
But it sounds like both you and Logan had a great time.
So jealous of the snow--my friend in Denver said it was snowing like the Dickens the other day. Said the mountains were beautiful. *sigh*
