The great thing about having all girls is that clothes can be handed down. I have Rubbermaid tubs full of clothes from newborn to size 6, all labeled and stacked. The weather has turned cold again, so I’ve packed the summer clothes back into the garage and brought out the winter wear. Eva is wearing size 6 tops right now (size 6 pants are still a little too long), so she’s wearing new long-sleeved shirts and dresses I found on clearance last summer.
Amanda is moving up to size 4T, and though she likes the shirts and pants she’s inherited, she prefers dresses. I’ve been buying every long-sleeved dress I could find in the second-hand clothing store for the past few months, and she’ll wear them even if they’re size 5 or 6 and the sleeves are too long, since she loves twirling in the long, flowing skirts.
Bethany is a “girly girl”, too, but I don’t have any warm dresses in her size, so she likes to put a tutu or dress-up skirt over her clothes when she’s in the mood. She’s barely 20 lbs, and her legs are so short she still fits in 18-month outfits with separate tops and bottoms. Her torso is too long for one-piece outfits that are 18-months, so I’ll put her in 24-month outfits and roll up the sleeves a bit. I prefer to put her in one-piece outfits right now because that way she can’t take her diaper and pants off.
