Beating Summer Heat

It's already the month of March and we can already feel the summer heat. It has been about 37 degrees Celsius here in our place for the past days. During the month of April the temperature could rise as high as 40 degrees celcius. Now, that's reaally HOT!

I'm already thinking ways to keep ourselves cool during the summer months. The kids are the ones who would really be the first ones to sweat and feel so warm. So, as much as possible I just let them wear very light and thin clothing. As for my li'l boy, there are just times when I don't let him wear any shirts at all. In the afternoons, when the heat is at its peak, I don't let them do much activities. I just let them sit in the living room (with the fan set at the highest speed) , let them read their books, watch tv or SLEEP. And then I prepare some nice, cold choco milk shake for them to drink when they already feel so hot and sweaty. Of course, I need to let them regularly drink water too to keep them from dehydration.
