My poor LOs have been stuck inside most of the winter. A will go out here and there with DH to shovel but lately it's been below freezing so I won't let her go out. E is a little too young to do much so we haven't even attempted with her. I can't wait for spring so we can get out at least an hour a day to get some fresh air.
-
Not a lot right now because it's so cold and snowy and he's only 10 months. We did go for a big snowshoe on the weekend when it was milder though. But typically just in a out of the car. So cold.
-
DD 1 hasn't been outside for a week. She has been so sick and it has been below freezing. DD 2 is still so young I don't like taking her outside if it's below 35. So we have been stuck indoors a lot!
-
Every day at school as long as it isn't below a certain temperature.
-
Basically no outdoor time here this winter. It is just too cold for that. This week has been a bit milder and if it stays that way this weekend maybe we will get out there. It doesn't help that he hates boots and mitts.
-
He gets some outdoor time every day, though not active running-around time if it's really cold. We'll stick him in his stroller bundle bag and stroll him. Even on really bad days, he has his stroll to preschool. At least it's fresh air!
-
We try to go outside every day if it's above ten degrees. But I've been kind of lazy lately. The snow is too deep for LO to walk in and we have had an inversion sitting on us, making it cold with lots of freezing fog here. Hoping to go on a nice long walk tomorrow!
I'm doing a challenge to get outside with your kids 3x a week for 30 minutes in January, for a total of 360 minutes. I think we are about halfway - need to step it up!
-
DD is only a year old, so practically none. There were a few days when it was 50 degrees and up, and we went for walks everyday that we could. But for the most part, the only time she gets outside is the time it takes to get to the car and back.
I might be more willing to take her in the stroller on walks when it's colder, but she absolutely hates wearing hats and will tenaciously pull at them until she's wrestled it off. Since she has no hair, I can't help but feel it's bad for her little bald headed self to be exposed to the winter wind.
-
At DCP the wind chill (not temp) has to be above 37 - so not much at all!
Its dark when we get home on the weekdays so none there.
Weekends I try to do at least 15 mins
-
It's pretty cold here but I take him out every day. It would have to be below 20F for me to seriously consider leaving him in all day. It was "feels like 8" last week so we stayed in. But below freezing is no problem.
-
We haven't been out much either. DS is getting a little stir crazy! I can't wait for spring! I just found a free toddler gym program in my town so I'm hoping doing that once a week will help. It definitely seemed to this week!
-
A fair bit. As long as it's above 30F and not raining, we go out.
-
None at all, its just been too cold and LO has a constant runny nose/cough so I'm not going to force her to go outside. we try to find lots of indoor activities on the weekends- library, indoor playspace, etc.
-
We had a mild winter compared to last year's winter so we are out and about daily unless she is sick. We had cabin fever from when she was sick and we stayed home for a week.
-
We do the daily stroller walk to and from daycare, otherwise we aren't really outside unless its warm and we take a walk on the weekends. Can't wait for spring!
-
Tons, but this is our outdoor season! In the summer it's very little, first thing in the morning only.
-
Not a lot and I feel bad about it. It gets really cold here, and while that doesn't really stop me, his snow suit doesn't fit him well and he has a hard time walking/playing in it, which is necessary with our cold weather. So we just haven't until he grows into the snow suit a bit better.
-
Dayhome gets the kids out every day, even if it's just for short spurts. We make sure to dress her appropriately, including two neck warmers, mitts under her snowsuit (which folds over her hands) and a hat +her snowsuit hood up.
-
Not as much as I'd like. I would still take her out to the playground at maybe 28 degrees and up, if it's not wet.
-
We try to get him outside for a couple of hours during the weekend even if it's walking around the neighborhood and going to dinner. He needs his fresh air or he gets owly. His new daycare/preschool has a studio space and a playspace indoors. He can burn energy there while at school which helps a bit.
-
Not much. DD2 is only a couple weeks old so she's not going anywhere just yet. Poor DD1 had been stuck inside with us for a week.
-
Sadly, not much! DS's daycare will take them outside when it's cold, but not when there's still snow on the ground or it's muddy. We do our best to get him out for bike rides on the weekends and we walk to the store or other errands when possible. Can't wait for warmer weather!
-
Not much. I don't like being outdoors so I feel like she usually plays outdoor at school.
-
At daycare they go out every day that's over 20 degrees (or 25, I can't remember). They go out for half an hour, in snowsuits, hats, mittens, boots, etc. I'm sure it takes at least half an hour to wrangle them all into their gear!
-
Daycare takes the kids out every day that the windchill is warmer than -25C. But they only go for 15 min if it's that cold. I tried taking her out few times when it was closer to the freezing mark, but her snowsuit makes it so hard for her to move. She got a sled this Christmas, so we'll have to see if she likes sleigh rides.
-
A pretty decent amount, but Oregon winters aren't like most of you have to deal with. It's rarely especially cold here - we still play in the park most of the winter.
