How can it be so hard to dress a kid under the age of 2?
After hours and hours of effort from Amy, Paul’s Mom, me, and my Mom (and Paul… I made him look with me online at least once) — I finally made an order for Will’s wedding outfit(s) last night from www.bestdressedchild.com. It was VERY DIFFICULT. Boys can wear mini-suits (What kid under 2 is going to keep a suit together? Grown men can barely do it!) Or, they can wear sailor suits (a little too themed for a wedding). Or, they can wear fru-fru christening outfits in all white. Seriously, finding a little dressy romper is like the search for the Holy Grail. And don’t even get me started on cost. Even on ebay, these things weren’t cheap.
Granna picked up a generous tab on a few outfits to get us through the summer festivities. We decided on this for the weddings. We found tons of great outfits for rehearsals, breakfasts, fourth of july, and other events… but they were SOLD OUT everywhere. It was exhausting and unbelievable. Finally, we settled on some others, justifying that he’ll be able to wear these through November in our temperate city (we got everything in 2T… technically, he’s a fit in 18month-wear, we’re buying 24month for the next 3 months, and 2T for beyond.)

Oh my goodness! I am going to have to learn how to sew kids clothes before we have little ones! Either that or mooch off friends who already have kids and borrow their outfits! Those are pretty expensive!
