I try to send all of my kids who can walk outside EVERYDAY even if it is only for 5 minutes at a time a few times a day!!
(unless of course there is some type of wind-chill warning saying exposed skin will freeze in 1 or 2 minutes which we have been known to get often during our winters)
If they are dressed for the cold weather they will be fine. Kids are just babied way too much and some parents are just not too bright when it comes to common sense! Kids need to run/play and get fresh air! Its beneficial to their health,
(and with my own kids my sanity! Even if I just get to have that 5 minutes to have a quiet cup of coffee it is worth getting them all bundled up!!)


This morning at 10 am it was it was -27 degree Celsius = -16.6 degree Fahrenheit. My 2 dcks played outside for 15 minutes!

It is now -12 degree Celsius = 10.4 degree Fahrenheit and they will be going out again after naps! They will most likely be out there for at least an hour! This is beautiful weather! :-)
