First Cool Snap

In south east Texas if it dips below 60 degrees at night and reaches highs of 70's or 80's we consider that a cool front. I know that's nothing for anyone who has ever lived north. I have to admit, when I stepped foot outside in my jogging shorts and T-shirt yesterday morning it felt a little cool. It even gave me goose bumps. During this season it is always hard to tell how to dress yourself for the day, let alone trying to dress a little one who can't tell you if he's cold or hot. I just try and use the rule of thumb that he gets one or two more layers than I would be comfortable in. Since I knew I'd be getting sweaty even in the nice cool air I felt that my attire was fitting. For Cole, I tried to imagine what I'd feel like if I were just sitting in a stroller with the wind on my face not really exerting any energy (i.e. heat). This was my first thought:

A very thick snow hat, short sleeve shirt, light weight jacket, pants, socks, shoes and a blanket. Isn't he so cute in that hat. He has matching mittens too. Ha.

I thought that hat may be a little too much, so I went with the hoodie.

He stayed pretty warm, only his hands were chilled because he wouldn't keep them under the blanket. I think I'll also put a little heaver jacket on him next time. Or better yet, wait until late morning or early afternoon to take our stroll.
