Happy Easter!

The Bunny.
We went to the mall this morning to see the Big Easter Bunny. My daughter has had her picture taken with this same bunny since she was born in 2002. Some how I simple forgot about going before yesterday and we tried on the way home last night however the line was HUGE and they would not even let anyone get in line since the Bunny had to have his dinner (Why can't he just nibble carrots in between photos, eh?). My goal this morning was to go and be the first in line. Well, that did not happen. We go there and there was a bit of a line but it was moving. So we waited in line - DD played on this interactive video mat while I stood in line with my Dunkin Donuts coffee and a muffin (I did not have time to eat before we left the house).

DD is 5 - almost 5 1/2 right now. She is over 48" tall and weighs just over 60 lbs. According to the growth charts, she is an average 7 year old. So she goes up to Mr. Bunny and climbs in his lap and is practically falling out. She goes back to get another photo and her legs are like here, there and everywhere. Too Funny. The photographer suggests she sits next to the bunny. Alas, my daughter has outgrown laps.

The photo is awesome. But she does not look 5.

And our mall has a play area. We have not gone since before Christmas, I believe. So we hung out to run, jump and socialize for awhile. And of course, found clearance items at Gymboree. And of course new stuffies at Disney (she was behaving so well at the mall, it is hard for me to say NO - especially when they are on sale).

Why do kids have to grow so much, so fast?

I went up to our local outlet stores yesterday and went shopping at Gap Kids. I got 4 outfits for summer. I bought size 8 tops and 6/7 bottoms. They fit - like a sausage casing!! So back I went because I liked the outfits I had put together and had to change it for size 10 tops and 8 bottoms.

She is 5.

But why is it, she is wearing a size 6x pair of pants right now? Different brand, different size. What a pain the garment industry is in regards to size! Why can't there be a uniform set of measurements for size of clothing? Guess it makes too much sense, eh?
