Dealing with disappointment...

This was the topic of parent time at preschool this week. Eli had to deal with a BIG disappointment when he woke up this morning. SNOW!

When he went to bed last night he was so excited that the snow was almost gone and the Easter bunny was going to come soon since I had been telling them that Easter would be here once the snow was all gone. Easter means CANDY so they are excited.

Eli, "Mom! There is not supposed to be snow, it's supposed to be Easter!"

Me: "Yep Buddy it snowed."

Eli: "But I don't want it to snow."

Me: "Well I can't make it not snow so we just have to deal with it."

Eli: "I don't want to"

Eli and about 95% of Minnesotans are feeling like this today. What can we do about it? Nothing...so we zipped the 3 in 1 jackets back together, pulled out the snow boots and trudged to school in the snow.

Happy "Spring" in Minnesota!
