[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 621897, member: 3907"] Interestingly, it's my easy child who refuses to dress for the weather. He just doesn't feel the cold, so it's not a battle in which I choose to engage with him. All the cook kids wear hats these days, so his head is covered. I knit and crochet, and handmade gloves and mittens are "in" this year, so his hands are covered. Those are his only nods to the cold. He wears running shoes with ankle-high athletic socks ALL WINTER. He refuses to wear boots, because they're "too heavy" and he "can't move freely." Most of the time he wears his hockey team jacket as a winter coat. Occasionally he'll wear some or all the pieces of his layered winter coat (wind-breaker, inner shell and really really warm puffy middle layer) My rule is: I provide all the warm stuff, but I can't make you wear it, so don't come crying to me if you're freezing your butt off later. On days when frostbite is a concern, I make sure fingers, toes, ears and noses are covered, and let the rest of him fend for itself. I suspect I will also have to fight this battle with Tyrantina once she's a bit older, but the other Monsters all feel the cold like I do, so the challenge is making sure there are enough sweaters, hats and scarves for them.
