My Feat's Too Big
I am having a clothing crisis for my daughter. Oh, she has plenty of clothing. But putting together an outfit that coordinates, is comfortable, is weather appropriate, and fits over her cloth diapered bottom is quite a challenge. Yes, she's 13 months old, and growing like a weed. One day her pink comfy pants are puddling at her feet, the next they are floods. When we go visiting, we bring a collection of one-piece suits, onesies, pants, long-sleeved tops, short-sleeved tops, socks, stockings, skirts, etc. So why is it I have such trouble getting an outfit together? Today she is sporting a long sleeve shirt which keeps unbuttoning itself, a pair of stocking that give her perpetual elephant ankles, and a skort. It is really too warm for long sleeves, but I don't have a coordinating short-sleeve top (except for the 3-6 month top that somehow still travels with us). I went clothes shopping for her two days ago and came out with what I thought was a great bunch of mix-and-match items. I bought blue jeans (2 for 1) and couldn't wait to get them on her. The 12-month pair fit her legs perfectly, but prohibited movement in the hip region. (??) The 18-month pair allowed for hip movement, but traveled past her feet by about 3 inches. What a waste. Then there are her shoes. She ownes two pairs of soft-souled shoes. One pair fits snugly, allowing no room for socks. The other has room for three pairs of socks. Sighs. Oh, and dresses don't work at the moment, because she crawls. Ever try to crawl in a dress? Back to the store...
