This Is Perfectly Safe, We Promise

We have been having a great deal of snow and freezing (hard freezing, not piddling around with 30 degree days, but right down towards zero.  I don't know, I really don't).

We have also been having some unseasonably warm days, where it is a joy to be outside, and you can hardly believe that it is January.*

This means that there are some odd moments, such as when we go to the park on a lovely day, and the lake is still frozen solid.

And then Leo encourages Ellie to do dangerous, dangerous things.

And then -- just to add insult to injury -- she looks like she thoroughly enjoys it.

Humph.

And he is holding her.  But he's putting my BABY on the ICE and everyone has seen that scene in It's a Wonderful Life with the ice and the drowning and the ears and deafness.  It's NOT GOOD.

*I know it's February, but the unseasonably warm days weren't.
