Toddler Math, or Let’s Play in the Snow

The walk from our apartment to preschool is five blocks. A healthy adult can make this walk in five minutes, or perhaps six if one observes all traffic signals. A healthy adult walking with a curious toddler, however, can make this walk in fifteen minutes at best, and that’s if the lights cooperate, as we stop for every one. Short legs plus an affinity for asking questions about each truck, bird and sound makes for a chilly journey in winter weather. So usually we take the stroller to school. And let’s be honest: this is for the boy’s mother’s comfort. He’s happy to play in the cold.
This morning, however, we woke to a rare bit of snow.
And so I bundled us both up and we walked to school.
