"no" when I ask "do you want to go outside?"  My son, who has become the poster toddler for the "terrible two's" refuses to take one step onto the snow.  I really can't blame him.  For someone with very little experience with the cold, wet and (now) crunchy stuff, it is hard to deal with.http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/KidsDiscoverNature/~3/VQ7Du-oGB3I/involve-your-kids-in-holiday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jodi V.)2<p><a
