Fall is here

Yes the calendar says that fall is here but the weather did not magically change overnight. Zoey has been asking for weeks, if not months, when fall would be here. So finally yesterday was the first day of fall and she was so disappointed that she did not need to wear longs sleeves and pants. I have been explaining to her that the weather does not instantly change and why a date on the calendar is chosen as the first day of fall. She just didn't believe me. I asked her if she wanted to draw a picture of what she likes about fall and she said she was going to draw a picture of snow. LOL! This gets to the heart of the matter. She wants to play in the snow. So now I explained that it almost never snows in the fall here in Charlotte, NC. She will not give up hope. You have to love that about children. They have a dream and they are sticking with it.
