The bugaboo faces the snowy weather

So my little angel meets her first taste of winter weather.  We wrapped her up so completely that barely her little nose poked thru on our trip to the high st.  In a few years time she will be out there with her sledge but for the moment its her zayde who is pushing on the slippy slidey road.  When I was her age in the dark old days we were snowed out as well in the east end.  I have wonderful black and white snaps of my dad digging a path from our home to push the pram.  was sorely reprimanded by my daughter when I suggested that she left the darling in her bugaboo on the balcony for fresh snowy air.  They routinely do this in Scandinavia, where I have many friends and it apparently a good way to build immunity.  I was asked how I would like to sit on the balcony - fair point I suppose.   We are beginning to get smiles from the darling and little human grunts that sound a bit like language.

I have instructions for her Xmax/Chanukah present - some baby reading books in hebrew.  My daughter speaks it fluently and wants the little one to be an accomplished linguist too.  I guess I will start checking on;
