Cold Weather Won't Stop Megan

Wearing her winter hat we bought her to wear last year and a winter coat that was too small for Alexandra Harrington (thank you she loves it) Megan is ready to play outside. Megan knows that when I put on her socks and shoes we are going to go outside and she can barely sit long enough to get shoes on. She loves being outside!

When it was warmer out Megan would just play in and out of the garage for hours and she wasn't really crazy about taking walks. Now that it is cold out, the first thing she does is walk to the stroller and point. She gets in, I wrap her legs in 2 blankets and off we go. She likes to point at decorations as we walk. We gets lots of looks from people who are driving in their warm cars, not so nice looks either. But my theory is, "As long as it's not icy, rainy, snowy, or terribly windy, we're going to be outside!" Am I wrong for thinking this?

I think I re-started this stroller trend last weekend. We were inside all day and Megan started getting antsy around 5:30, too early for dinner and dark outside. I wrapped her up just like this, handed her a plastic bug lantern and off we went on a night time walk. She loved looking at all the lights, street lights, car lights, porch lights, she had a blast. At one point when there were a lot of cars coming towards us, Megan held up her light as if it was her head light, it was very cute.

After our walk next up is going for a bike ride. I carry Megan and the bike to the sidewalk and away she goes. Most of the time she goes backwards, but she doesn't care. As you can see from the video below, she likes her bike.

I had to take a picture of me in full "mommy mode" Megan always takes her baby outside and I asked if her baby was cold (Megan has misplaced her baby's shirt) Megan shock her head that her baby was cold and then handed me the baby. So being a mom, I put her baby in my coat to keep her warm.

The next day was a little colder and windier but we were still outside. Megan chose to ride in her convertible to take in the great weather. With a fleece blanket wrapped around her bum, a blanket to fill the gap by her legs and the second layer to her new coat (thanks again Harrington's!) we were off. I don't know if it was because she couldn't move her arm that well (think "A Christmas Story") or if she is dreaming of becoming a NASCAR driver but Megan would only turn the steering wheel to the left. After a few blocks of "turning" left I was cracking up. Oh good times, cold, but good!
