I just about know what you mean. Im 5'4" but I have a long body so trousers are a nightmare. I always said, if you cant be tall yourself, you can at least marry tall and have tall kids! I expect to be bellowing "SIT DOWN EMMA!" to tell her off in a very few years - MIL and I both left primary school tall - its just that I stopped growing shortly after and she carried on for another 6+"!

So right! But we dont open our eyes around here til after the first cuppa of the day so we're safe LOL!

R sounds about the size of Emma's best friend (the one she has told everyone she is going to marry - including God, as she recently told me LOL!). He's 5 next month, and they're such a funny combination! One of my friends has daughters who are 6 & 4 and they are the same size in clothes except for trousers. Her DD1 doesnt eat much and DD2 is the opposite. They just have one set of clothes I think! Sophie by contrast is smaller than Em at the same age, so I fear she will always be the "little" sister. Still, as long as she ends up taller than me, and preferably without needing to watch the calories, who cares if she's smaller?

Thanks Rue! Well, if you approve...! If she doesnt grow too fast, it should last a few years. And if she can stay away from mud and food stains, haha! Bold and bright has always suited her personality, and at least now the patterns and colours match - you should have seen some of the mismatches she used to insist on going to Preschool in at 3! Even mismatching wellies one day! I figured there were more important battles to win...
