Very dirty; too much play, too overdressed

When I got home from work today, Ivan was so dirty and sweaty like I had never seen him before.

He had grime accummulated in all his creases (neck and elbows) but the nape of his neck and back were also covered in fine dirt. He must have been playing extra hard.

He was also drenched in sweat--his hair was all wet and he had sweat beads on his upper lip. I blame that on my dad. And it was hot and humid and rainy all day. Ivan was in the car in the carseat, in which he gets hotter than the rest of us because he's tightly enclosed and because less air circulates in the back of the car.

However, appropriately dressing Ivan has been one of those "low burner" annoyances I've had with my dad for months. He's always cold and hates airconditioning, preferring to swelter in humid, hot weather. Ivan, on the other hand, gets super hot and sweaty, more so than the rest of us. His head gets especially hot and sweaty.

The boy also runs around non-stop all day long from 5:30 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. save for the 1-2 hour nap.

And my dad was dressed in a short sleeved shirt with shorts. Ivan, on the other hand, was dressed in a onesie with a collar shirt over it and jeans shorts.

How does that make any sense?

My dad, of course, refused to hear my reasoning and refused to admit that maybe he's wrong and that Ivan was overdressed.
