Growth Spurt!

Wow, talk about a growth spurt...K has grown THREE INCHES since school started. She began preschool this year at 37 inches. We measured her this weekend at 40 inches. Holy Moly!

No wonder she's been complaining about her feet, knees, legs, and hips hurting. All of a sudden, her size 3 pants are inches too short (but still waaaay too big in the waist). I just bought jeans over Labor Day weekend, 2 very cute / hip pairs from Old Navy (I like Old Navy kids because they tend to fit kind of slim). That was six weeks ago and they now come just a little over half-way up her butt. I also just purchased 4 pairs of "foot jammies" as K calls them. You know, those warm, fuzzy, footed blanket sleepers? They were all a size 4 & I thought we'd skate through all winter and well into the spring with them. WRONG! A few nights ago, we notice her shoulders and feet are just about to burst right through the seams.

So, now I have a dilema of finding pants in a size 5 length with a size 2 waist! How am I going to keep clothes on this little toothpick...?
