Looking for feedback and comments RE My winter clothing checklist...

Bright Sparks your letter is great. May I borrow some tidbits out of it to send out to my DC Parents?

It's not our job to remind parents, but unfortunately it is the children that suffer. I feel badly for "little Johnny" who's trembling and fingers all red and wet and cold cause mum and dad are too lazy, rushed, whatever to bring proper gear in the morning. Not to mention it makes our job so much easier when you don't have 2 or 3 little ones crying to go back inside cause they are cold.

Agreed ~ I expect clients to provide daily what they need for their children however I admit that I do keep 'extras' here in the house of most things so that if what they do send does not meet MY level of expectation I can provide a back up so that I do not have to suffer for their choice because their child is unhappy ... I have even put a pair of big ole wool socks of my spouses over top of boots that IMO were not warm enough for baby outsid eand taped a BAG over them to make them water proof in the snow so I did not have to listen to the child whining they were cold and they were able to enjoy outside albeit it making a fashion statement but they were warm and dry
