It's like they're reading my mind, man!
This, from NPR on why kids hate coats, and why we shouldn't care that much. Sweetie and I got into a huge tiff over this issue when last we were up North, and the Drama Queen refused to put on even a sweater. So when DQ tells me, "But I like to be cold!" what she really means is this:
Kids would rather be the way they came into the world: naked. And as they adapt to the world of clothing, extra layers -- particularly coats -- add to their heightened perception of constriction.

I now have a vision of your darling daughter as a Dilly Bar. I'm sure that's not what you meant but my brain reads DQ only so many ways. Then mentioning cold...
Thereby explaining Miss Baby's veritable streak away from the bathroom as soon as she's removed from the tub. Come to my house at about 7:45 in the evening, see a naked toddler running around squealing her fool head off.
Boys are the same. Alden, cowboy boots, and nothin' else. "Weee!" Sheesh.
Congrats on turning in the chapter.
we need a pic of that, Nathan.
Ah. So it's not about defying mom at all costs or "My mom is rich which is why I lost three coats at school in one week last year in first grade"? Glad to know, b/c I was too pissed (and thinking evil thoughts) after that lost-coat thing.
