Its been chilly, but the days without the high-winds, we always go outside to walk and play.....this is little Miss on the stone fence at our neighbors the other day on our walk. Like her mittens? Lol!! They are socks......they seem to work much better for little ones as they can be put on up to their elbows....they don't have that dang thumb thing to worry about and are light but comfortable so the kids don't get frustrated that they can't move their hands....Socks.....great for the feet,,,,wonderful for the hands.
