Winter is cold?

I was pregnant last winter. For those who have yet to experience this, pretend you're in a room heated to 98 degrees, and you'll know what it feels like. I don't think I wore a jacket the entire winter. Every time I walked out of the house with my bare arms exposed in 40 degree weather, Jim would give me a look of disapproval (he REALLY wanted to tell me to put on a jacket, but he always gave his shoulders a shrug knowing how pointless it would be, and we would leave- he's become quite the pro at biting his tongue).

Winter has hit Dallas, and when I walked outside the morning after our first cold front I realized 40 degrees is cold! Jim-Jim has noticed the change in climate as well. He is really bad about crawling out of his blanket as soon as you lay him down for the night. After the first few days of Jim-Jim waking us up at 2 in the morning, we realized he's getting cold in the middle of the night (yes, it took us a while...we never said we were bright!). All we had to do to get him to go back to sleep was to put his blanket back on him. We've started putting him in footie pajamas, and he's sleeping like an angel once again. AND he's quite adorable if I do say so myself! Spoken like a true, proud mama:)

How precious. I miss that little guy! FYI: I just found fleece footed PJ's at Wal-Mart on the cheap. We experienced the same cool snap, and when I pulled out warm PJ's I was one child short. It broke poor C's heart, but thanks to Wally World, all is well once again.
