Round three of cold weather photos and he's started requesting specific outfits, which is either a developmental milestone or straight up manipulation, I can't decide. This sweater made the cut because it's soft enough that he'll actually keep it on instead of trying to peel it off in the car.

Common questions
- Are cable knit sweaters warm enough for toddlers without a jacket?
- For a mild fall day, yes, a cotton cable knit sweater is enough on its own. Once it's windy or genuinely cold, add a jacket or vest over it.
- What pants work best under a bulky sweater?
- A pull-on pant with an elastic waist, like corduroy or a soft cotton blend, keeps the whole outfit easy to get on without wrestling with buttons.
- Are water resistant boots worth it for toddlers?
- Yes, especially in fall when puddles and wet grass are unavoidable. They keep socks dry without the bulk of full rain boots.
The cuff stayed stiff through two rounds of photos, but at least he kept the sweater on.
