But Mommy, This is What All the Kids are Wearing

It is finally cold out, and Max is enjoying playing in the two or three flakes of snow on the ground. A couple of days ago, he wanted to play in the 12 degree weather (-6 with the wind) and dressed himself. Green rain boots (on the wrong feet), red snow pants, blue jacket, no mittens, and his "airplane hat." I insisted that he put a warm hat and we finally compromised with both hats. I didn't win the mitten battle until he had run around outside for a few minutes and his hands got cold.

He really had fun running around, watching the propeller go around very quickly. Between the running and the wind, it really moved. Lauren and I, on the other hand, shivered until we convinced him to go inside.
