I finally received a clothing voucher for Blossom today. $150.00 to spend at Fred Meyer. I'm suppose to buy clothes, a coat and shoes. Well, they don't have any shoes her size at Fred Meyer. So, I picked out socks. It's summer, so the best coat I found was a zip up hoody. And clothes - well, I thrashed through the clothing racks a bit like a crazy person trying to find something that would fit, mumbling and talking to myself the whole time. Those awful sayings on the front of 50% of everything. One of them said, "I'm fun like mommy." Good grief! Seriously!
The best pants I found were 2T capri style. They are wide bottomed and bigger around in the waist. The best shirts I found were tunic style. Sleepers were a nightmare. That "snug fit" sleeper business is frustrating. But most everything was on sale and so I did get a good supply. Mostly stuff that should fit as she grows this summer.
It's great to have a picture record because these are all her clothes now and they will go with her when it's time.
Tami found a super find on Craigslist the other day. It's called an "Around We Go." It's a step up from an Exersaucer and so darn cool. You Tube has some funny videos. We split the cost so I could use it now and she'll use it next summer. It was a steal of a deal!
She has the opportunity to swivel the chair and also walk it around the toy table. Right now she is still stationary. I wonder how long it will take her to figure it out.
Shopping score!
ReplyDeleteShe'll be scooting after the boys in no time after some practice in that contraption :o)
That is the hope.
DeleteI was watching Heidi play in an exersaucer this morning at VBS. She would turn to the right and see a toy and spin to get it...and then turn to the right and see another toy and would spin again to get it...and kept going around and around until I thought I was going to get dizzy!
ReplyDeleteYou have to get some video!
DeleteI second the "shopping score" - both the exersaucer+ AND all the clothes! She's sure a big little girl. While I tend not to worry about weight for babies, I bet all the fun/play/exercise she'll get at your house will be great for her :D Not to mention all the normalcy/structure/family/LOVE. Wishing you all well,
