One of the things I love about having dark-skinned kids is that they look so good in all of the bright summer colors that we very white folks can't pull off. Salmon, and orange, and bright yellow, and hot pink! I must be in a rainbow sort of mood today because this morning I bought Kendi Mabel a sweater that is rainbow striped (basically for free). We went to Target for some essentials tonight and I could not pass up this oh-so-Kendi-ish summer dress for $4! I just know her skin is going to look so beautiful against those colors.
I find it very hard to buy her the right size because I am paranoid that she will outgrow clothes before she gets home. When I was in Ghana 6 weeks ago she was 30 inches tall and 17 pounds heavy. According to Old Navy size charts that means she would be in 6-12 month for weight and 12-18 month for height.
By the time she comes home I'm thinking she could be maybe 25 pounds and 33-34 inches. ??? If so, that just puts her at BARELY 24 month size! The 24 month dress I bought her today at Target says it is for 33-35.5 inches and 26.5-28 pounds.
It's like it's too good to be true. Am I really buying those too cute toddler girl clothes again after 7 years?! Wow.
I know...I'm pitiful. The little things are very exciting to me right now. =-)
