We've done this before
and it is a new one for us
Early to bed, early to rise
Starting school new
Out the door
Up the road
New friends
Routines
Lessons
Rules
Jasmin slipped into grade 2
with hardly a ripple
We've done this before
And it's a new one for us
Hats, mitts, coats, and boots
Kitting out kids for unaccustomed winter
Pestered with eager questions
Impatient longing
Improbable plans
A swirl of wet messy first snow
A whirlwind of giddy three
Hats, mitts, boots, and coats
(after the first aborted foray in barefeet and short sleeves!)
Giddy laughter and loud experimenting
trying of everything they know about snow
Catch a flake
make a snowball
Roll a ball, throw a ball
Taste a ball
Soggy mittens
Tingly nose, fingers, toes
Kids rediscovering snow!
