Rule #1 is no collars. Rule #2 it must at the very least have pink or purple somewhere. Rule #3 even though she has no butt, no waist and is impossibly skinny she will not tolerate the way those buttons and straps feel on adjustable waist bottoms. <BR/><BR/>I have got to bite the bullet and take her shopping this week as school starts a week from Monday but boy am I dreading it!Tara G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11809459405332292355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-82628673865499357682008-08-10T07:17:00.000-04:002008-08-10T07:17:00.000-04:00I think I have a playful spirit but some of the gi...I think I have a playful spirit but some of the girls' t shirts take it a bit to far. One of the worst (with the exception of the shirt reading 'Porn Star' in size <BR/>4T) is a shirt with 'I like spending my dad's money'. While that statement might be true, it might be in poor taste to drape a 2 year old in it or reward her for that attitude. It is a far cry from a 'Daddy's girl' t shirt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-50751944059607829672008-08-08T08:28:00.000-04:002008-08-08T08:28:00.000-04:00Congrats!

AND THEN, I realized that HELLO?!? I think you live very, very close to me! Omigosh, how random, right? I recognize the lake, the pool with the lazy river, the gross zoo, etc. Isn't that crazy!

I know a day will come though when they will probably care (too much actually) about what they wear and about how much it costs and believe me I'm dreading the day! But right now I'm taking advantage of dressing my pre-schooler in the cheapest, yuckiest clothes I can find because he just destroys them.<BR/>Anyway, love your new look Jana - it's hot!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545840927956976901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-57492525473120466062008-08-07T16:22:00.000-04:002008-08-07T16:22:00.000-04:00Oh the magical back to school shopping trips...sur...Oh the magical back to school shopping trips...surely someone would be crying, someone would come home with nothing, someone would want everything they seen...they don't usually like the things we think are cute...and the prices for a peice of childs clothing....rediculous!

My 8 year old daughter is insisting on picking out her own school clothes for the first time this year. Unfortunately her idol is Hannah Montana and some girl from High School Musical. We have been battling over short skirts and sequined halter tops. An hour ago, red faced with embarrassment, I hauled her crying out of a store and drove us home empty handed. I'm thinking that last years clothes will do just fine again this year. I just don't have it in me to battle with her again!Cuddles, Kisses & Tantrumshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04959079050316578171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-59966424076426478862008-08-07T15:43:00.000-04:002008-08-07T15:43:00.000-04:00One word: Walmart.One word: Walmart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-41536532383831142852008-08-07T15:01:00.000-04:002008-08-07T15:01:00.000-04:00First, I love the new design!Second, you made my d...First, I love the new design!<BR/><BR/>Second, you made my day when you commented on my blog!

Unfortunately her issues deal with the particular texture of the item and how it feels against her skin. First off she reject almost anything that is not pink and the she has to try it on. I got a way cute shirt for her for $5 that was PINK and had a few random sequence stitched to it. She put it on and instantly started pulling it away from her skin, grrr. I felt the inside of the shirt and could barely feel the stitching. My husband said to keep in and force her to wear it.Mrs. Mortyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14805379830242847582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-72032918589418477812008-08-07T13:13:00.000-04:002008-08-07T13:13:00.000-04:00Why don't you try Lands End for mumus?
