Grooming 101
If you fortunate enough to be married then it's really healthy for the relationship that you, as the daddy, ACTIVELY participate in your boy(s) grooming. And by grooming I mean the bathing, dressing, undressing, toilet training, nappy-changing, tooth-brushing, ear-cleaning, nail clipping (including the toes), hair brushing, etc. This is about you adding a daddy's touch. And, in my case, your wife will probably complain less and you'll probably get more booty as well :-)
Also, try to enjoy the experience, slow it down. Try not to think about work or anything else. Be present. Don't think. Just be. Just appreciate the fleeting moment presented to you.
A child's immune system is fully developed at 5 years of age. This means that children under the age of 5 are more susceptible to illness. This, in turn, means that, on cooler days, it's best to dress you kid slightly warmer, especially for the morning trip to school.
It's easy to overdress your kid, i.e. they can overheat and this makes for an uncomfortable experience for them, resulting in a grumpy kid. And you know what a grumpy kid is like. So, place your finger behind you child's neck in the space between the base of the head and the base of the neck, on the inside of the clothing item's collar. If it's hot then start undressing your child.
