I got a room heater out...It was very cheap and doesn't get very hot, but it blows warm air. I blow dry for a few minutes (Sadie really hates the blow dryer...) But this past time after blow drying for a minute or two... I put the room dryer in front of her create and made sure there was tons of ventilation. I stayed right there and she was so happy to lie in her bed while warm air blew on her!!! It worked great but I would NEVER leave her for a second with this cause if it ever got too hot!!!!

I also always turn my heat way up when they get baths till they are completely dry...

My girls are afraid of the blow dryer

, so we turn up the heat and warm up their towels, and blankets.

We towel dry the girls quickly then wrap them in a couple of dry towels and a warm blanket. Someone usually cuddles them for a while until they are almost dry. The house is quite warm until they are fully dry.
