Dear Sarah..

Firstly i have only just discovered that you do in fact have two different names..er…why?

Seems a but unfair if you ask me but anyway.

…Sarah.. lets talk…

Coats and general winter type attire…

Sticky subject i know. You like it, you like them all..you seem to like them a LOT. You seem to spend a LOT of time talking about coats, jumpers and gloves.

I dont understand this..why do you do it. Coats and jumpers are not interesting. They are not there for fun, they do not make things, squidge things or play things. They are not entertaining,  In anyway shape or form and yet you and i have long conversations about them everyday.

Well you talk, i rarely listen if the truth be told.

Sorry..but you know, you tell me not to lie.

When I am inside the house I see no need for extra layers. Feet are supposed to be bare. I sort of like the idea that i have bear feet.

heh heh.

It seems that the best thing i can do with my arms is not to stick them in a coat or jumper. There are far better things that i can do that require much less padding and cumbersome, getting in the wayness, of these coats!

Whats wrong with them? well ill tell you…

they have labels! WRONG! itchy, horrible tags of death. Why do they need them? i know my age and i don’t need to see those little symbols that have something to do with the white box you put clothes in dry and they come out wet. 

They are far far too padded. the reason i have elbows is so that i can bend my arms. If i wanted to play dress up as a scarecrow i would put the kitchen broom down my sleeves! 

They are too warm. No i am not like you, no i do not need a thousand layers and a blanket to keep myself warm. What is it with old people. Move around a little. 

They are not easily off and onable. This is a big one. Why should i want to spend half an hour getting into a jumper..when i know once i have chased the dog round for a few minutes im going to say im too hot and we have to start the whole circle again. 

Let me just say this..if i am cold i will ask for something warmer to wear. You can save yourself hours of trying to convince me im cold when im not and i can save myself hours of effort just fighting with you and refusing to put the coat on.

Sounds like a win win right? 

Love…

every single toddler that has ever been in the house. 

ps. Rest assured – that time when you have decided to finally let me make my own decision and not brought a coat and jumper with us when we go out…to..what ….try and make me learn is it? We both know how that backfires when i get cold and plead with you for warmth in front of those alpha-mums. 😉
