He never feels cold, wears his "skiv jams" around the house and I could go on about clothes and many other things related to his senses (or lack there-of at times).

I took him out to the car in a diaper and t-shirt. It was below freezing. He started screaming that he was cold. When I asked if he would let me put his clothes on now, he said yes and let me get him dresses. The next time I told him it was cold outside, he believed me. :)mommeeof10https://www.blogger.com/profile/03611832953435781430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732255176396931795.post-10860980236357773262009-01-10T13:25:00.000-05:002009-01-10T13:25:00.000-05:00Save this for a chapter in your third book.
