I've got a dck that has not liked to wear hats or mittens in the 3 years I've had him. It was 40 out the other morning we went out and I should have expected that mom didn't bring him mittens (because she doesn't make him wear them). I luckily had my assistant here, so he was allowed to go out for only 5 minutes and then had to go back inside with the babies while his friends got to stay outside. I told him it was cuz he didn't have a hat and mittens. Funny the next day mom had him here with mittens and a brand new hat. He must have told mom he didn't get to play outside long.
Mom lets him get away without wearing that stuff, but when we're outside for 30 minutes, I don't. I gotta take care of him while he's here. I don't fall for the 'he won't wear it' routine. If he won't wear it, he doesn't get to play outside. Sometimes he cries a little
but I don't want him getting frostbite or something.
