He loves them to bits. So much so that he took them into his room last night when I sent him in to get his PJs on, and LOST ONE!!! While being very mature and sensible, of course. He certainly wasn’t doing anything as foolish as playing basketball with them. Because he would never do such a thing.
We found it this morning, and they are now safely put away in MY sock drawer, awaiting the onset of the cold weather next year. I think perhaps I’ll add a mitten string between now and then.

My heart was in my mouth whe I read one mitten was lost!! So glad they were earned and then the lost one was found!!
You’ve done much better on your incentive program mittens than I have done on my incentive program hoody for Hunter. Kudos to both you and the boy.
Finally catch up with bloglines – and look at you – all finishing-y! Well done on all that….and I loves the mittens…
