[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Made huge progress today.  Last night, I dragged all kids out to hardware store and picked up three mini snow shovels and take-out.  I told 4 yr old he is helping me shovel drive way today.

He was in his snow pants and out the door as soon as we woke-up.  He happily played in the snow while I watched from the kitchen cooking pancakes.

We have since been out 3 other times today, all by his request, including the long walk to the “big” sledding hill.

Let’s see how long the new found outdoor love lasts.  4 yr olds sure are fickle.

And to the Canadian PP, thanks!  I’ve tried different snow pants and mittens.  I think it is mood thing more than a comfort thing.  Sometimes gear isn’t an issue, sometimes it is meltdown city bc snow pant isn’t going into boot the “right” way or something or another.  But I’m happy things seem to be ok for now.  In a northern state so the snow very well may be here until April. Kids have to learn to love it,[/quote]

Awesome, OP, nice work! My kids are absolute nightmares when they're hungry, so I totally understand that the mood colo(u)rs every experience, especially at age 4.  (I'm the Canadian PP.)[/quote]
