she does have other clothes, I promise

I was talking to my sister Kristie the other day & happened to mention that the dancing photo in my previous blog was taken last month, she said "thats OK, shes wearing the same top". So I thought it was just luck but then I realised that my last 3 posts with photos of Olivia in them have her in exactly the same shirt (& by pure dumb luck its the same as she is wearing today). Thinking about this I believe it is because, although she does have other shirts, she is growing so fast that I dont buy too many clothes of any particular size, so the clothes she does have are washed regularly & are in high rotation.


She is 3 and is currently wearing size 7 shirts & size 5 jeans, it blows my mind (for those without kids a general rule of thumb is that age should match clothing size or there abouts). Now I reaslise that I do need to roll up the jeans & shirts a little bit but less & less each day which makes me increasingly sad that my baby is growing up.


So here is proof that there are other clothes in her closet:


this photo was taken when her cousins came over to play & i encouraged them all to climb in a tree, Olivia went up & promptly came back down landing in the bushes (hence the scratches). Once they left we came inside & all Olivia wanted to do was lie on the couch watching Horton Hears a Who, where she fell asleep. I was a little worried about concussion but it was also around the time when we were having difficulty getting her to sleep so I was more relieved to be able to pick her up & put her straight into bed.

You wait until you've had the baby and Olivia comes in to meet her brother/sister, you'll swear she's grown another foot or two over night. It's sad that they have to grow up - but that's life!
