“Not dead yet!”

Their thing about sizing by height is really appropriate if you look at the size guide on the website. Unless her weight is appreciably different from the ranges they add as a secondary measuring factor.

If memory serves, their stuff used to run to the larger side, especially width-wise.

I picked up a pair of super sugar shoes today for only 10 dollars. They're semi-dressy gray and white flats and if you look really close the pattern is skulls.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I am so tired of being a grown up. But now I have called the vet to report on Taz and arrange for the rest of his course of sntibiotics, called the doctor to make an appointment for a CT scan, called the hospital to register so my doctor's office can make the appointment, called the doctor's office back and done some work.

Hmm. It doesn't look like much now that it's written all out. I also got blood drawn! And found out that the tests I took in the midst of my stomach incident last month all came back normal.

But I think it's more, I suck at being a grownup.

(((Nora))) You're a fabulous adult.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Sounds like a lot to me -- all of those things have you co-ordinating with other people. Which takes time.

You're a better adult than me!

Do they run big? I have no idea about sizing. She wears a 3T at Children's Place.

It's height-based, as Barb mentions. Plumper kids will run to needing larger, skinnier kids to needing smaller, at least with the waist lines. As Lillian was something like 34" and 25lbs at her 3 year appointment, she was just on the cusp of 90s. I've noticed that the long-sleeved 80s are a little short in the arm for her now, but the short sleeves are still fine. They're sized so that the upper end of the 10cm range in height between sizes can still wear them, so they do run larger. The plus side is that they can wear them for AGES. And they hold up well, so people who want multiple children can hand them down.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Nora, you're doing fine as adult. Way above average. But it's okay to not like it, a lot of the time.

Jeebus. It's 4pm here, and outside's as dark as it was at 8:30 last night--well into dusk toward dark. There's thunder, but not much wind. I think we're about to get some weather.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

At her 3 year check-up in February, she was 38" tall and 30 lbs.

I can't seem to find a size chart on the website. I am teh dum.
