Never Say Never

So….when I was a DINK (double income no kids), I swore I would NEVER

buy clothes for MY kids that had Disney characters or cartoons or

anything like that on them! And I’d most certainly never shop Wal-

Mart for kids clothes when there are so many BETTER options like

GapKids, Gymboree, Macy’s…..you get my drift…..NEVER SAY NEVER!

Ella girl will be 3 on November 28th…..and I’m being reminded

several times a day by the party girl! Ella LOVES Ariel and all

things Disney princess and I know nothing would make her heart soar

more than if she were to open up long-sleeved Ariel pjs or a new t-

shirt for her bday. Our current Ariel nightgown is literally hanging

by a few threads, but no matter the time of day, she peels off her

clothes and puts it on the minute it pops out of the dryer. So today,

I found myself holding my breath while I quickly, yet carefully,

looked through every rack of pajamas and t-shirts at Wal-Mart to try

to find either an Ariel t-shirt or nightgown or pj’s for my precious

little three year old. I think I even started praying aloud…..”God

please have her size, please Lord! She NEEDS these!” Well, today

wasn’t my day- I found Ariel pj’s in size 18 months and a t-shirt in

5T, but nothing in 3T…..grandmothers, be on alert!!!

My how things change. I’m thankful for Wal-Mart and cheap cartoon

clothes….because there’s nothing my preschooler likes better and

that just makes momma smile!
