Again!?

Have you ever watched Malcolm in the Middle? Have you seen the one where the boys have to go to a funeral and they come complaining to their mom saying 'they don't have clothes to wear.' When Lois (the mom) checks them out, all of them have outgrown their clothes to the point the pants hit the ankles and the sleeves hit their elbows. Then she says, "SWITCH!". so the clothes get taken off and handed down to the next kid in line and they go, "hey these clothes fit perfectly!" except now the oldest is in his underwear going, "What am I supposed to wear?!"

I HAD THAT EXPERIENCE WITH BRADY TONIGHT!!! i don't know what on earth he's eating, but he is growing like CRAZY!!!

He had scouts tonight so I told him to get his scout shirt on. He comes up and I said, "Why are you wearing Colby's shirt?" Lo, and Behold! It's Brady's! He's just grown so much that it looked 2 sizes too small. Lucky Colby has just hit the clothing jackpot! :) I just realized the same thing happened yesterday when Brady said he couldn't find any pants to wear that would fit him. (I thought it was a drama thing, but we went through 4 pairs of pants before 1 fit him!)


And the bad thing is, clothes double in price the bigger they get!
Example:

Pair of shorts for Remy (size 24 mo) = $3.00
Pair of shorts for Colby (size 8/10) = $6.00
Pair of shorts for Brady (size 14/16) = $12.00

and that's the cheap end of the spectrum!! sheesh! Good thing summer's coming! I may have to be making some clothes so Brady's not naked this summer. . . then again, he could live in his swim trunks, so I'll probably be ok :).

Also, Colby was upset today because he wants braces, BADLY!! He thought because he had a consult tomorrow he'd get braces tomorrow. . . .uh, no. SO he's crying all the way to the car saying, "No one is going to see my braces until I'm in the 4th GRADE!!Boo hoo hoo." LOL!!! What do you say to that?! So in my best 'let-me-console-you-i'm-your-mother-voice', I say, "Colby, you'll probably have braces for the next 4 years, and then EVERYONE will see them." yeah, not mother of the year advice for sure.

Thank goodness I have Remy. Now I know all the wrong things I've done, I should be the perfect mother with him and not make mistakes, right? :)
