Chapped hands, chapped lips

The cold Iowa temperatures have really done a number on everyone's skin this winter. We've encouraged our preschoolers' parents to bring in lotion and chapstick to help keep everyone's skin hydrated. Today I was putting lotion on one of the kids' hands whose were particularly chapped. As I put it on he sighed in relief. Then he said, "that feels good. It's cold when you put it on but it warms up when it gets sucked in."
