After all 40 degrees isn't even cold.<BR/>On the days of my sojourn as a playground supervisor I experienced many children who wanted to play out side with out coats, mittens,hats or boots even when it was below the freezing point. Or they would get "too hot " while playing and start to take off the above mentioned garments. As far as I recall they all survived and came back many more days to do the same thing over. I would be in a great deal of trouble if I recommended under dressing in such cold weather but if it happens for short periods of time it likely isn't hurting anyone - not even Mama.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393525220611580379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15841782.post-88077770859046018582008-11-22T20:20:00.000-06:002008-11-22T20:20:00.000-06:00In retrospect, I am sure many of those scearios h...In retrospect, I am sure many of those scearios happened as I was raising kids. In general, experiences like you mentioned are designed to:<BR/><BR/>1. Give you opportunities to effectively train your kids.<BR/><BR/>2. Give God opportunities to effectively teach you--including leaning on Him.<BR/><BR/>3. Gives you some comic relief in a day's time.<BR/><BR/>4. Provides you with some frustration, which is probably spilling out of the kids.<BR/><BR/>5. Are deposits in the memory bank and will be told until boredom comes or mom grows senile.<BR/><BR/>6. Are fodder for bored grandparents.<BR/><BR/>7. Can be used for "one-upmanship" at a ladies blather session.<BR/><BR/>8. Allows you the pleasure of looking in on those darling cherubaic sleeping faces and know they were specially given to you.<BR/><BR/>9. Yep, they do look and act like their dad at times. When they're cute, they definitely take after you, when they're unruly--you know who!<BR/><BR/>10. Pray with them and for them and don't give up. Someday you may get to be a grandparent and delight yourself in spoiling the little "angels".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
