#6 vs. #1

Consider this our version of March Madness:

Carter's Aunt Kate & Uncle Brian asked her parents (mostly her Mommy) to tend to their six children while they were on vacation. While they were out, before Carter & I caught the flu, Virginia had it's best snow of the winter season = 6". Meager for many, but a fair amount to play in out here.


So, this is "Lotus" enjoying the feel of snow on her tongue ....
As you are able to see, this cheery little lady embraced the cold snow and fed herself snowballs! She is all of 16 months old in this image and had no apprehension with pouncing about with her mastifs in the rare Virginia snow. "Lotus" is #6 of 6.



Moving, on you see here "Peanut" in the same snow .....
As you are able to observe, she is not "embracing" the snowfall. Her Mother attributes her sobbing to the fact that she contacted the flu virus a day or two later; her Father was doubtful. Ruthless, perhaps, but it's not like she was given a "white-wash" or anything. The reality is that being #1 of 1 lends to being less adventurous than being #6 of 6.


Anyhow, the two played well together over the week .... well, mostly; "Lotus" was prone to taking sneak-shoves on her 1 month younger cousin to establish that it was her "home turf". Well played little one; well played.
