The Thomas the Train Trend

Christmas and winter are so much fun with kids. Cody has really gotten into the spirit of things this year and it makes Steve and I even more excited for Christmas and actually sort of OK with the snow thing. Cody can't wait to put on his gloves, hat, and coat every time we leave the house and every time we bundle up to go outside he tells me, "snow boots, mom" and each time I would tell him that we don't have any and then he would say, "store" (what a problem-solver). I knew that my inspired mother-in-law bought Cody some Thomas the Train boots for Christmas (which just happen to match his Thomas the Train hat and gloves) and figured he would just have to wait a few more weeks. When I told her about Cody being very adamant about getting some snow boots she let him open the present early (she was just as eager to have someone to play in the snow with). Cody put the boots on and Grandma and Cody went out to build a snow man. That was Sunday and Cody has worn them ever since. When Steve was a little boy he would wear his snow boots all summer (in Arizona) and so I can only imagine what we are in for :) I am so glad that Cody loves playing in the snow and that he is loving his boots. Last night we took off his pants while we were getting ready for bed and before I knew it, he had his boots back on. If there is anything cuter than a little boy with boots on, it's a boy wearing boots and no pants!!
