Nighttime sledding!

Tonight we took the Munchkin sledding for the very first time and she loved it! Adam bought her a cute little baby sled. After her bath and dinner, we bundled her all up, smacked some vaseline on her wind-burned cheeks, and put her baklava/balaklava (can't remember which...) on her head to keep her head and ears warm, and took her out into this snowy winter night.

We walked through knee-deep snow to get to the park and then we pushed her on the baby swings! What a nice little outing for our family! I'll post some pictures when I get them off Adam's phone.

We introduce Mia to a new life experience almost every day (be it grated apples this morning, sledding this evening, or just the sight of snow last week!), and I'm always amazed that she seems entirely unfazed by the experiences. She doesn't even know enough to be surprised that, for instance, the world is blanketed in freezing white powder that wasn't there the previous day! Her mind is completely blank, open, pure and available for learning. What a great responsibility!
