A toddler’s first snowfall can be a magical moment in their life. It could also be the most terrifying 45 seconds they have ever had the misfortune to experience. Kansas City has a moderate amount of snowfall every year. When you have a toddler, and there is snow, you want to play in the fluffy, white powder before it turns gray.

Kids need to stay warm when they’re out playing in the snow. That usually involves about 45 minutes to an hour bundling layer upon layer of thick, heavy sweaters and coats. Don’t forget the scarf and mittens. If you have ever seen the movie “A Christmas Story,“ you can picture the mom getting little Randy ready to go out.

This toddler had his first snow experience, and he is done. His mom, Boymom1422, got him bundled up for his first snow adventure. They had boots, mittens, snow pants, winter coats, hats, and scarves. It was a 45-minute process to prepare. He wasn’t as bundled as poor Randy, but it was a new experience.
It was cold and snowy, with a stiff wind. Mom took the toddler outside into his first snow. They promptly fell, face-first, into the snow. The entire episode lasted 45 seconds. That’s from inside to outside, to face-down in the snow, and back to inside. That was not a happy, fun 45 seconds. Her husband stayed outside with their other son while mom brought the toddler in.
As parents, we want every experience to be fantastic. Plans don’t always go the way we’d like. For this young mother, it will be a challenge to overcome this terrifying experience. However, he may want to join in once he sees his brother playing.
