A topic that comes up a lot in this house is Ikie's clothes. GASP! Yes, Isaac's clothing....this topic comes up from Devin and not me. It is driving me crazy! Devin gets so worked up about what this kid is wearing everyday. Devin is usually the man that has nothing to do with shopping, decorating, or picking out clothes. He would much rather be on the golf course or doing pretty much anything else for that matter.
So everyday, I get this lecture that Isaac's outfit.."just doesn't look right" or I get told that he is wearing flood pants. You know, pants that are too short. It is not that I want Isaac to look bad but finding clothes that fit him is a bit of a challenge. He is so skinny and short. He only weighs 23 pounds and can't even fit in 18 month old clothes. I have to roll the waiste down because the pants will fall off him if I don't.
Now Devin doesn't totally get my point in regards to these clothing challenges. He feels that I am too sad with Isaac getting bigger and therefore want to make him small again by keeping him in smaller clothes. That is totally insane....I am prepared and acutally do realize that our child is growing! Gulp!!!! :) Devin says that I lay out all of the clothes that are too small and make him reminisce about each piece of clothing with me before I put the non-fitting items in a tub in the basement. Does that sound at all like me? OK....maybe a little?

amanda,
meloney always buys clothes to small for caea because she wants her to stay little, and then she gets to wear it once and its too small! dont tell her i said this and if you are reading this, mel youre dreaming go back to sleep. where as i buy clothes three sizes too big so they fit for the next three years cuz im cheap. and also the reason for my comment was to tell you caea fits in her size 24 mon shorts, capris and skirts still cuz shes so skinny so i think its hereditary. memeber when you and mel went to the childrens place and got her a clothes 2 summers ago? ya those still fit. its hard to find them clothes now but theyre gonna be healthy attractive adults right?! isaac looks so cute in his monster sweater, and caeas so excited to see him. she wanted to go to grammy nancys yesterday and i said she was at isaacs house and she got mad at me cuz she wants to go to and has no concept of distance. love you and i cant wait to see you guys!
