Apparently this happens when you feed and water them.

As all of us Canucks are slowly coming out of hibernation, we are all taking part in that time honoured tradition of trying on the summer stuff from last year.....OR as it is known here in Wilsonworld..."The nothing fits me anymore day".

I pulled out 4 HUGE Rubbermaid bins that i had carefully packed up in the fall, full of summer clothes. Keith and i share a bin. The rest belong to the children. I sent Munch upstairs with 12 pairs of shorts. All of which he was able to wear to school last year. They were purchased at the beginning of summer. Apparently that was the only year that they will see, as he can wear none of them now. His legs appeared to have grown over the winter. A LOT.

Bug was looking for a spring/summer dress to wear to Church...and reached for a few of her favourites from last year. UM....NONE of them fit either.

Without finishing all of the "trying", I am willing to guess that 80% of the clothes that i have stored will be boxed up and given to one of the local charities. Some animals hibernate over the winter...Wilsonworld ones apparently double in size. Good bye Tax refund.....i have a feeling that you are going to new clothes..and shoes...and jackets...and dress clothes...

They will stop growing eventually right?
Please?
Anybody?

I know that this is normal, but the other night when we went out to a family function..Munch "borrowed" all of the clothes he wore from Keith. At 12. Not even a teen yet. He wants a suit to wear to Bug's First Communion next month. I told him if he does get one, it won't be until the night before..cause if i buy it now it won't fit him by May 24th. That is how fast he is growing.

And she grew knees. And legs..long ones.

My babies are growing up...I know i should be happy that they are growing, healthy and normal...but a little piece of me is sad.

The piece that wanted to use the tax refund to finish the kitchen ceiling.
Oh well..maybe next year.

They will be done growing then...right?

Yes, they do stop growing. But only AFTER they leave home. Then they get married and have children. Who don't stop growing.

Thanks Vince, but that doesn't give me much hope. It will be YEARS before they are old enough to move out.

Munch...shouldn't you be doing school work or something..after all you are at school, according to the time stamp.

I thought I left a comment here a couple of days ago... did it get stuck in moderation?
