Let it Snow Let it Snow

Let it snow! Yep, the big state of Georgia actually received some snow yesterday. I know for all you northerners out there, that doesn't sound like a big deal, but for us Georgians it is a big deal. The boys loved going outside and making the best snowball possible with the wet icky stuff. Shelby wasn't too thrilled about it getting on her or her shoes, but she loved watching it from the windows. It was very disappointing for the boys this morning to wake up and find out that they DID have to go to school. Come on as little as our kids get to see snow, you would have thought even Cobb County would have taken advantage of a snow day. But no dice, we were up and at em bright and early. Shelby was off to Carol's today and it wasn't too bad at drop off since she is learning her new routine. I have talked to her about 5 times on the phone already and that seems to calm her down and reassure her that mommy is still around and coming back soon to get her. I still miss her though knowing that she is still just sitting around waiting on me to come pick her up. She doesn't get down and play yet, or even eat/drink while she is away. I so hope she warms up to being at Carol's and at her new school soon...

I so remember Grace's first snow (at about the same age as Shelby), she did not want to WALK on it! Isn't it wonderful experiencing all of these firsts with Shelby? I'm glad that she is getting used to her routine. Just keep doing what you are doing, being patient, staying consistent and she'll start interacting at school and at Carol's. Remember the tears are good because it means she is working through the fear and the grief.
