Last year the kids lost their boots so often it made me want to cry! I had two crawlers who could not keep their boots on. This year I mad it very clear that parents need to choose boots that fit properly and STAY ON or I might ask them to replace them. So far I find that snowsuits with the booties that clip on to snow pants are the best, but they have to wear warm wool socks under them too usually. I have my older son to take to the bus stop so I have to get them dressed twice per day.
