Gloves, not mittens

Yesterday was the first day that Elisabeth needed something to keep her hands warm when we went outside. So I pulled out the box of winter hats and gloves to find her something. I found her a pair of gloves that we had bought for her last winter. Last winter she fell to tears every time we tried to put them on - so mittens it was for the entire winter.

Yesterday when I pulled out the gloves, she was excited by the novelty. She not only let me put them on her, but kept them on, and asked for them later when we went out again!

(And the parents breathed another sigh of relief . . .)
