Snowsuit Stories

When "The Dude" gets a little older, Em and I are going to have to figure out appropriate punishments as discipline for him.  I know "Time-outs" are a big form of discipline for a little kid. 

I think we should use the snowsuit as a form of "time-out" when he gets old enough.  When he is in that snowsuit, he is at its mercy.  You zip him up and he'll smile and coo, but there is no moving of the arms or legs.....he's stuck.

Here's proof.  (Still shot or not.....this is how it would look if we did a video of the little guy in this position.)

A frustrating attempt to move his right arm

So, a couple days ago I was bundling him up in his snowsuit and put him in his car seat to head to daycare.  As I was walking out the door, Emily says to me, "Do you think he'll be warm enough?"  I told her to come and look at him and ask me that again.

She looked in there and just started laughing.  I think he'll be fine.

He's more likely to die of heat exhaustion in that snowsuit....than he would catching a cold.
