Dads, it’s your job, during these cold January nights, to make sure your kids are warm in bed. Tell them: “I don’t every want any of you to be cold in the middle of the night. Let us know. We’ll get you another quilt.”
They might not know this.
The challenge of course are the babies, who don’t stay under blankets. But you know ways to keep her warm, too.
It is pleasurable to check in on a child at midnight when it is 15 below zero and know that they are warm and comfy under all that weight of down and quilting.

It’s very hard for me to NOT check on Corban multiple times before I go to bed, and anytime I get up in the middle of the night. Many people said this trickles off with each new child, but I’m glad to hear that it doesn’t!

It’s also nice to check on your wife to make sure she’s warm. My hubby does this and I do appreciate it. And it’s not so hard when you’re sharing a bed. 🙂
