I find it very difficult to hold onto Drew’s hand when he is wearing a mitten – especially when I am also wearing a mitten. All last winter I went without a mitten – even in the -30 degree weather we experienced because I just did not feel like I could maintain a secure hold on him (he is so curious and active!). Let me tell you – my hand was FREEZING! and his wrist was too – because I had to hold somewhere and if I held his hand when he tried to pull away to look at something his mitten would slide off – so I had to hold his wrist with my bare hand…so his wrist was always a bit exposed to the cold…

My solution – because I refuse to have another winter with an ice cold hand -is this mitten – which allows Drew and I to hold hands – skin to skin – inside the warmth of a combined mitten.
