And then we went to those awful play centres that kids love and parents hate and they went on all the BIG slides and things.

I thought, as big as what? Me? Oh, she meant as big as my daughter! I had to catch my breath for a moment there too. I didn't realize that my 3 1/2 year old daughter is much bigger than her 18-month old twin girls!

It's really hit me recently that I have big kids because, suddenly, I'm no longer allowed to accompany my kids to their activities. They're all drop off at this point. And, if I'm lucky, I might get to crowd around the observation window with all the other moms, hoping to catch a little glimpse of my two in action.<br /><br />On the other hand, my kids are on the small side for height and weight, so compared to their peers, they still look little. I keep telling them (jokingly, of course), that I want them to stay this little forever. Tiny, of course, never fails to bring me back to reality with, "I doesn't work that way, Mama." :o)Renaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318311170413043717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-25974534130766413472011-08-18T20:34:13.262-05:002011-08-18T20:34:13.262-05:00I just did the same thing at the store!

I kept looking through the newborn sizes for a 2t and 3t (because I have to buy for the follow year if it's something adorable) and I was astounded they didn't have any. DH promptly informed me I was in the baby section. DUH!

When we were shopping the other day, I grabbed two of those long-sleeve one-piece outfits from Carters (you know--like rompers, but long sleeves and pants?) that was on the 70% off rack. I told myself that the girls are really too big for them, but they can still wear 24 months, and darn it--they're going to wear the simple one-piece outfits one more time! : )Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11371310465607810535noreply@blogger.com
