Once the snow and mud is gone it won't matter we can just go but till then not everyone on every day. My daughter works half days nearby and often comes over at lunchtime and will take out anyone with proper clothes. Even telling parents or a child complaining they didn't get to go outside doesn't seem to change the parents' behaviour. Another reason I am looking forward to a change over of kids this summer. Maybe I can train the new set to listen when I say we need snowpants to play in the snow.
I would go nuts if I didn't get to go outside. I have extra outside clothes that I kept from our girls as a back up - snow suits/hats/boots. An idea maybe go to Value Village or Kijiji to get some second hand back ups? My parents have forgotten and giggle when they see their little boys in pink
I'd be training the new ones to bring a suit for sure
