Before I knew we were having another girl, I was at The Children’s Place for another awesome clearance sale, and stumbled across some adorable baby girl outfits that would be perfect for next summer–if our little one was a baby girl.
I couldn’t help myself–I went ahead and bought four outfits for $10, thinking, “If it’s not a girl, these would be great baby gifts for somebody’s little girl!”
Ironically there was only one boy outfit, which I purchased, thinking, How would I explain to my son that I bought him all girls’ clothes?!
Good thing we didn’t know she was a girl yet–just think of how many outfits I would have found!
I’ll admit it: I’m a sucker for baby clothes!
Last November, we were in Toys R Us only to buy diapers, and Mara pulled a dress off the clearance rack (child after my own heart!).
I said, “Mara, that’s too small for you, sweetie.”
“It’s not for me!” she said right away. “It’s for the little sister!”
I looked at the little dress. It wasn’t exactly my style, but it rang up only $2.17 and the tag said 3/6 months–perfect for next summer.
And besides, Mara picked it out–for her little sister!
I guess baby clothes find Mara too.
It must be genetic.
