Between sizes...

Every parent knows that keeping children in clothing that fits seems to be an endless process. Last spring I went through all of my son's clothing and got rid of everything that did not fit. I headed into this fall feeling pretty confident that he had enough shirts and pants to last him through the winter. Now that winter is here I am finding myself wondering why I had this confidence. Nothing fits the child. His pants are either too snug in the middle or too short in the legs. I try not to say too much to him lest he think he needs dieting pills. He has been more sedentary lately than I would like him to be. This is likely why his pants are snug. I realize children are constantly growing and this is just something you have to deal with. I just wasn't budgeting for dealing with buying all new pants at this exact moment but I guess I am going to have to.
