New Uniform

It is only when our children outgrown their clothes that we realised how much they have grown. It's a mixed feeling for me. I felt happy that Phoebe is growing up each day but yet, my heart aches to know that my little girl has grown up and I miss the small-ness of her and the cute babyish mannerism. Alright, the truth is, my girl is only 4+. I sounded as if she's old enough to get married. Haha.

When Phoebe first started her nursery in SKMCC, she was wearing S size school uniform. I am one mommy who does not like my children to wear big big clothes because I always feel that they look sloppy and untidy with oversized clothes. So when I got Phoebe her S size uniform, it fitted her nicely and she looked cute, neat and sweet :)

But children grow up quickly, her S size uniform became tight after the June holidays. By the end of 2009, her dress became almost like a blouse and the bloomers were like shorts. So I had to get her new school uniform. Her papa, the practical one, suggested XL size, for better mileage. Phoebe could fit just nice in an M size. XL is a little too roomy. When we brought the new XL uniform home, Phoebe tried it on and hated it, saying that it was ugly. I do agree with her. The arm hole was so big that I could put my hand in, or even two hands maybe. Haha. I'm exaggerating :) Anyway, she's starting to become more conscious of herself and how she looks.

After much consideration, I decided to bring the XL uniform back to exchange for the L size ones. She's much happier wear her new L uniform. It gives her more confidence in her appearance too. I wonder how long these 2 sets will last her. Will update again if we need to upgrade her uniform again :)
