Well before we went to MN for Christmas I had a very hard time getting Grace to go outside in the cold weather. We had battles numerous times with boots, mittens, and bulky jackets. I finally gave up and said to myself, "Fine, you can learn how to play outside from Grandma. I don't want to fight anymore." Sure enough, first day at Grandma's all the kids were going outside and my little darling was just as excited as the rest of them. No taking off boots or mittens or jacket at Grandma's, just a contented toddler enjoying the fresh air! She has been great since we got home too, now she wants to go out every time the door opens.
