I wasn't sure if Elena would "get" the whole concept of sledding, but we took a chance anyway. I decided to blow up our boating tube and take her to our nearby sledding hill. She didn't know what to make of being pulled to the hill. (Jen decided to put a pillow into the "donut" hole cause she just sort of falls into the middle - it's a pretty large tube.)
When we got to the hill we carried her and the tube to the top and voila... the blue nylon cover wouldn't slide WHAT-SO-EVER so... I took it off and it worked just fine.
I went down with Elena once, Jen went with her the second time, we BOTH went with her the third time (and spun backwards a bit... scary-ish), then I went with her one more time by myself.
All in all it was fun and I *think* she enjoyed it. We found that when we got home her feet and hands especially were quite cold but she didn't cry or complain. She's such a great baby. She's even getting better at sleeping through the night since we started "cry it out".
But THAT'S another story for another blog entry.
