Tube Sledding
With all of the January snow, we decided that it would be a good opportunity to get in some sledding with Anders. We have an inflatable tube sled that has been tucked away in the garage for several years, just waiting for just such a moment.
Anders hasn't done very much sledding, so we started off easy with a walk to the mailbox.
After that, it was time for a little downhill action. Our driveway ended up being the perfect sledding bunny hill: Given a little push at the top, there is just enough slope to allow for continuous downward motion, and convenient bumpers on either side to help stay on track.
As Anders became more comfortable with the sequence, I would gradually increase the force which I used to push him down the hill. By the end, I was pushing as hard as I could, and he loved it! Thankfully, the sled was small and light enough that Anders could carry it back up the hill all by himself.
For some reason, Anders decided that he needed to have a snowball with him in the sled, too. Don't ask. After each run, he would replay the action with some sound effects, pick up the snowball and bring it back to the top with him.
Snow is fun!
