Keeping Warm on the Way to School

Winters in Jackson can get extremely cold. This week the high has been 0, 2, 6, and a balmy 10 degrees. These extremely high temperatures means we wake up to such luxurious temperatures as -18 and -22 (yeah!). Keeping Oscar warm on the way to school has become a fun routine. We place him in his car seat with a puffy coat and knitted hat. Then Oscar asks for his knitted blanket (thanks mom) and his Oscar the Grouch. He then requests songs to keep him entertained on the way to school. Current favorites are "Wheels on the Bus", "Bringing Home a Baby Bumble Bee", and the nursery rhyme "Ba Ba Black Sheep" set to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". We spend the rest of the trip finding buses and having Oscar say, "Catch It!".

He has much more clothing on lately, this photo is from a month ago.
