Remember when I was begging for used winter clothes for Ana, and you all came through beautifully? (And did I thank you all? Because that was wonderful, and I love you.)
This isn't like that.
At the moment, Ana fits into all her summer clothes (assuming we can find them - they were in the drawer a few months ago, but now I haven't the slightest clue where they've run off to. Well, if they've started walking they must be in New Jersey by now, right? :P), but she won't in a few months.
So, if anybody has any used 3T t-shirts, dresses, jumpers, shorts, pants, overalls, "shortalls", or any other article of clothing that's suitable for summer, and would like to send them our way, you can feel free to do so.
Am also accepting used toys and books, though we're *really* not hard-up for non-necessities. (Not hard-up for summer clothes either, not at the moment - it's a few months from now that I'm worried about. I've seen how fast she's growing!)
And, of course, used items of this nature can always be sent to a local charity or freecycle.
I will *not* want brand-new items. We don't need them. Should you feel the need to purchase a brand-new item for Ana's birthday (coming in a month), that's your business, but don't tell me. I'm just asking for people with used items who somehow lack a younger child to give them to to pass them on a little further afield if they want.
After Ana has 'em, they'll pass on to smaller friends of hers, to Eva, and eventually to other children elsewhere.
*thinks* We actually did get a lot of 3T pants used from one of your neighbors, which are very much appreciated. She fits them now. It's scary how she grows, really. As *all* children grow. Remember - local charities are well more wanting than we are. *nodnodnod*
I intend to post the semi-annual Really Big List of Wish Fulfillment for Ana in a few days. You can, as always, ignore anything I post. I like making lists is all :)
Edit: The baby has plenty of weather-appropriate clothes. Baby clothes should *definitely* go to charity or closer neighbors, we're not lacking in summery clothes ranging from 3-6 months, 6-9 months, and even 9-12 months.
