Proof we bred little ones!!!!
Setting the scene :-
January 2005 , International Terminal Sydney Airport Mascot. We are gathered to farewell the Hibbard family as they set off to Switzerland for a few years. Caitlyn is almost 1 yr old and is cutting all 4 top teeth so is not the most happy of babies. Graham has already gone through the gates as he was working the first leg of the trip and we are waiting with Paula and the boys till they have to leave too. Caitlyn is dressed in her blue summer overalls and bodysuit, she did have cute little pig tails too but the only lasted 10 minutes once we got in the car. Caitlyn decided that now was a good time to throw up all over herself!!! We did not have a change of clothes in the car as she was never a chucky baby and there was not a need, so I thought. There was a pair of shorts in the car, but no top. So while I was in the toilets trying to clean her up as best I could Andrew went back out to the car and got the shorts. The cleaning up was not very successful so I then had to go and find some kind of top for her to wear as we still had another hour or so before they left. So off to the souvenir shops I go, I never realised how hard it is to find a top for a OOO sized child in those places!!!! no body had anything.... eventually I found the smallest t'shirt I could find for under $25. Size 2, We put it on and needless to say she did look ridiculous but at least she was no longer top less.
Why the story:- This week at preschool they are having Mini Olympics and Caitlyn is in the blue team. She only has 1 blue shirt that she had worn yesterday and I was out last night so it was not washed. I found a navy shirt in the 'next size up' draw and guess what it fitted perfectly!!!!
Also Merrillie bought blue hairspray for the girls as they were in the same team, so Caitlyn had blue hair yesterday (you should have seen the bath water!) and today which was really cool as it came out as a shimmering silvery blue on her dark hair and looked great on the braid.

3 1/2 years it took but at least now she can wear it.
