Keeping your kids cool in the warm Weather

I’ve discovered that sunblock that isn’t waterproof doesn’t make Leah overheat as much as the waterproof kind. It can be hard to find a high SPF that isn’t waterproof, but sometimes in the face care section there is some, or for daily use there’s a Lubriderm that’s 15, not waterproof, and fairly light. It makes a big difference. It also seems to help to bathe Leah every night to get the daily layer of sunblock and sweat (and peanut butter, and who knows what else) off, so she can sleep cooler. Then we don’t put the sunblock on until morning.
