I thought it was odd, but filled the tub with mildly cold water. When the tub was ready, I lifted my nephew into the tub. He screamed loudly about ice cube water and stood shivering in the tub with his Continue Reading

These Mittens Don’t Fit

By

> Last year I brought JDaniel fleece mittens online on sale. They were a little big for him even though they were size 18-24 months. He has little hands.
