When we first moved into this house they gave us and we were preparing the 2nd bedroom for Raelynn's birth, the closet in that room was FULL of clothes. My in-laws' clothes. They probably had that crap in there since my husband moved away to Korea (they lived in another house before this one and then when he was college-aged, they moved in here). And the funniest part was they didn't understand WHY we wanted them to take it out of that closet. Um, because YOU don't live here anymore AND because there will soon be a baby here and we need a place to keep the baby's clothes! Thankfully, they took it all away but I can bet you all the dumplings in China they've just stuffed these ratty-ass clothes into their wardrobe in their house and that they will never wear these things. They wear the same things over and over and they will wear the same outfit for at least 3 days in a row.

When MIL was still modeling she got all kinds of nice clothes for herself and her husband. So naturaly she gave her husband some nice expensive shirts etc. All these clothes went into his closet to "save up" till his older clothes are not good enough anymore etc bla bla. Some of these clothes are more than 20 years old....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287572224300306186.post-53266085261645332002014-08-12T06:28:18.930-07:002014-08-12T06:28:18.930-07:00Hahaha!

When we bought Raelynn sneakers, we bought them bigger but not so big that we needed to fill the excess space with newspapers. Big enough that she wouldn't outgrow them within 2 months. Sadly, we weren't paying attention when we bought her these strappy sandals (that I wished they had in my size...argh!) and she outgrew those very quickly, but the good news is that someday, Seoul will fit into them. =) JQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17398355557660230873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287572224300306186.post-82000995876470932682014-08-11T13:04:11.463-07:002014-08-11T13:04:11.463-07:00My Chinese MIL says you should buy children's ...My Chinese MIL says you should buy children's shoes a few sizes too big and then use crumpled newspapers too fill in the excess space.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211691412408934332noreply@blogger.com
