The jacket

I forgot to say something about the jacket. I commented yesterday on how hot it is here and in one of these pics she is wearing a jacket. The high today is the chilly mid 80's and the wind is blowing. When we went to breakfast I had Addie in a long sleeve onsey and long pants. The lady at the desk chastised be because it was cold out today. When we met in the lobby to go to the office today I took her jacket to put on her. As I was putting it on a lady came over and helped me and put her blanket in her lap and then pointed at her head and said not enough. It was like having granny right here with me. When we got to the office 30 minutes later her little shirt was soaked through. The Pryors had there baby in a very reasonable summer outfit with shorts and they were sent back upstairs to get a jacket and a blanket to wrap the baby in. Everyone who speaks English officer advice on what you need to be doing with your baby at that point. She is sleepy, she is hungry, she is cold, although you never here she is hot which is usually the case. Yesterday we were given instructions not to keep our air conditioners on all the time because the baby will get cold. Well, that explains the jacket.

Kevin, I am now laughing with you. I got scolded too! What I learned was no matter how much you cover; it is never enough! Someone will find one area that needs to be "double" protected. It was cold when we went so you can imagine how we got scolded!

Looks like you are doing a great job! You get an A+ for blogging! This makes my day! We are marking them down.

Now Kevin, don't you let that baby freeze to death now, you hear? Sound familiar?
