I mean a typical Sunday in Wisconsin in which one wishes to venture outside because the dogs are going stir crazy.

Step One: Make sure your "sled-puller" (ie. Mommy) selects wam, waterproof snow boots with appropriate traction. Improve traction by adding snow chains.

Step Two: Choose a comfortable, light fabric for your base layer.

Step Three: Put on an insulating layer to help retain heat by trapping air close to your body.

Step Four: Repeat step three because you are six months old and your mother doesn't want you to freeze to death.

Step Five:  Choose an appropriate shell to protect you from wind, rain or snow.

Step Six: You're ready to begin your outdoor adventure! 

Until, of course, you run into major headwinds at the top of Grandma and Grandpa's development and realize that it really does feel like waaay below zero. In which case, the best thing to do is for Daddy to pick you up and carry you the rest of the way with your face in his chest so your nose doesn't fall off.
