Peyton does NOT like his snow boots



Virginia rarely gets snow. I mean maybe a token amount once a year, but on the whole no big snows. So last year when we got a big snow in March we weren't prepared with winter gear for Peyton (plus we'd just moved from Texas and gloves and hats are more for looks). We bundled him up like a 7 layer burrito and took him out. He could barely move but sat in the snow for a few minutes before he got bored. My mom being amazing at foresight bought him winter boots at a black Friday sale. I kinda snickered because I figured the next snow we'd get he'd be asking me for the keys to the car and would have long outgrown those boots. We did try them on him with much the same result as this video shows. Fast Forward to now and as I write this I think we're on our 4th measurable snow fall of the season. After avoiding the first snow fall we were unable to escape the boredom of the next so we decided to dress Peyton up purely for the entertainment of it. Poor kid. Despite all the tears and screams and histrionics you saw, once in the snow he was ok with it. He'll even put on gloves now because he knows he can pick up the snow with them. He won't wear them on general principal though. So for the record, he now DOES like his snow boots.
