AnonyMouse_19782 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Actually, we don't generally do too badly on that front, but have one boy at the moment who is very tall for his age, wears nappies and tracksuit bottoms, and when we go outside, his jacket is a little too short and rides up his body exposing his midriff which gets quite chilly! All our dressing up clothes are big enough to go over clothes, but you can bet the girls ask to strip down to wear a princess outfit with floaty sleeves, which don't float with a cardi on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_14268 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Yes they do seem to be a thing of the past, I actually think we only have a couple of children who wear vests. It's the lack of spare clothes that is driving me INSANE at the moment. We either have children who practically have a suitcase of spare clothes on their peg or nothing at all. Or even worse a great big back pack filled with nothing but their drawings, paintings or letters home!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_23964 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Agree with all the above. Vests - is it an age thing? You don't even seem to see the bodysuit popper vests on the younger children who are in nappies. Back in the day, when our children were young ....... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_3139 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Oh Rea that's priceless :lol: True! She's been lifting the hem of his shirt since we were 16, to see if he's wearing anything underneath. 'Oh my god, you'll freeze, you'll have arthritis when you're old, you watch'. Word for word. ☺☺☺ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Love my M&S long sleeved thermal vests! Oooop north you see, we need these things - sewn into them in September and allowed out in May when we can finally 'cast our clout'! Haha Edit to say, yes, it's generally agreed it's the May blossom that the rhyme refers to Edited January 21, 2017 by Cait 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_22029 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I have a little boy who likes dressing up as policeman. I tried the old joke What did the policeman say to the tummy button? You're under a vest. little boy asked what's a vest? Well there you go more evidence that vests for little ones are a thing of the past. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
