I'm having a hard time with the cold weather here, mostly because we don't have very good insulation at the apartment and it is always cold even though I have the thermostat set at 90 degrees (which is as high as it will go). I sleep in my sweat pants, sweat shirt and socks. Fortunately, it is warm in Sydney's room, which is the only room in the apartment that is warm.
Sydney seems to enjoy the cold weather, mostly the hot cocoa on Saturday mornings. I asked Sydney what she wanted for breakfast this weekend and she asked "How about cocoa?" She is really big on "How about _____?" these days. She got a new coat for Christmas from Aunt Cassi and she really likes wearing it.
I continue to get grief from her school about Sydney not being dressed warmly enough. She is usually in a turtle neck over a t-shirt or under a cardigan sweater, or in a sweater. Of course, she also has a coat and hat. But sometimes when I pick her up from school she is wearing the two spare shirts/turtlenecks that I brought for her, in addition to the clothes that she arrived at school in. I wouldn't care except that it means more laundry for me and you know how much I hate to do laundry. But then sometimes on these days when she is wearing 3 shirts/sweaters her teachers would tell me, with a straight face, that Sydney's temperature is a bit on the warm side. Sometimes I remember my yoga breathing techniques and it gets me through the moment, and other times I remind myself that I have wine at home and it allows me to leave the school without an ugly incident.
I hope that everyone is managing to keep warm!
