Wimpy Canadians

When Maddy was in daycare in London, they had the rule that they would not take the kids outside if it was any colder than -10 degrees.

Here in Finland, the kids go outside twice a day, no matter what. Last week, for instance, it was -25 plus the windchill and they were still out twice per day.

I love the atmosphere in Finland, the kids are so outdoorsy and tough. The biggest difference is that the Finnish people have learned how to dress their children properly.
