Not because she was bad, not because it was raining, but because it was freaking freezing out.
Try explaining to an 18 month old that if she steps outside her boogies will literally freeze inside of her nose for weeks and her tears will turn the consistency of freshly fallen snow.
When she looks outside and it's dark she understand that it's not time to play, when it's raining she totally gets that it's indoor time, but when there isn't a cloud in the clear blue sky and the backyard looks bright and inviting she just tries to sneak out every chance she gets.
Or she does something even more pathetic, she presses her nose against the glass that looks out in to our miniscule backyard and stares longingly at the hammock.
If it were socially acceptable, I would do the same thing.
How am I going to do this until March? I think it's time for a heavy duty snow suit.
