Oh What Fun it is to Ride in a Daddy-Horsed Toddler Sled

Since it finally snowed this past weekend, Bill decided he needed to take Nolan sledding.  Who knows if we will receive anymore snowfall the rest of this winter.  There was only a couple of inches on the ground, but Bill and Nolan made it work.  We used Nolan's sled he received for his birthday last year.  He wore his new coveralls, snow boots, and gloves to keep him warm.

At first Nolan did not like the sled at all.  He wanted to walk around on his own.  I told him to lick the snow and he tried to bend over, but the snowsuit wouldn't allow him to.  He stuck his tongue out and said, "lick it mama!"  I laughed so hard!  Bill grabbed a handful of snow for Nolan to lick.  He said, "oohhh cold, mmmmm!!"  Nolan is such a character!

Nolan needed to do his chores and check on the cows.  Once Nolan was assured the cows had enough food, Bill asked Nolan to ride the sled down the hill.  Nolan still wasn't convinced the sled was any fun.

I told Bill to take a ride down the hill first to show Nolan how the sled worked.  Once Nolan saw Bill start down the hill, he became so excited and wanted to ride the sled with dada!!  Poor Bill walked Nolan in the sled up the hill every time!  At least Bill was able to work out and Nolan thought it was funny watching Daddy huff and puff up the hill.  Papa T and baby Carter watched the fun from out of the upstairs window.  It was way too cold for baby Carter to be outside!!

At the end of every ride Nolan would say, "one more time dada!!"  Finally, Bill explained to Nolan it was the last time going down the hill because it was becoming too cold outside.  I took a video of the last ride.  Of course, at the end of this ride Nolan said, "two more time dada!!"
