I have a pair of jeans like that myself. It's irritating, but not *that* big a deal for me, since there's real pockets in the back.
But half of Ana's clothes, it seems, have flaps but no pockets, or stitchery that looks like a pocket (but isn't), or, in one notable case, an actual pocket on her overals that is essentially made useless by the embroidery one it. It's damn *annoying*, especially when you ignorantly say "put that in your pocket" and they can't, so they get upset.
And all that pink, too. God, if I never see another little girl in pink, I can die happy. It's not even that I dislike the color, it's just so predominant, it gets tiresome. I do my level best (usually) to dress her in non-pink clothing - or at least, to make it so that the pink is minimal, not the entire outfit. Today I didn't quite manage that, but that's not *my* fault. When Ana gets bigger and needs new clothes, I'll see if I can campaign to get Less Pink in her clothing. (I'm still putting out a call for boy clothes, by the way, if anybody has any to donate to the cause here. She's ~ a 2T, but a bit on the short side.)
If you're in the city tomorrow, you might want to go to this thing in Battery Park City...
The Family Music Festival at BPC: HARMONY ON THE HUDSON
Saturday, September 24, Noon - 7:00PM, Robert F. Wagner, Jr. Park
Enjoy a day of fun in the sun for the whole family. Terrific musical performances, storytelling, lawn games, art activities, and a square dance. Food and beverages available in Wagner Park. Bring a picnic blanket and sunblock!
THE CONCERTS Noon-5:00PM
* Grammy award-winner Tom Chapin and Friends perform great music that spans generations.
* David Gonzalez performs "Cuentos: Tales from the Latino World" with music by Daniel Kelly. Enjoy colorful tales and music from South America, Puerto Rico and the "Republic of The Bronx".

* The Double Dutch Divas delight with rhythmic rope jumping. Join them!
* FAMILY SQUARE DANCE: The Carnegie Hill Band. 5:00-7:00PM. No partner or experience necessary.
The stuff at BPC is nice - Ana and I go twice a week to the preschool play thing, and one day to the playground up by stuy, the one with the bicycle carosel and the hammocks and all.
