Even before I had worked at Gap (sister store to Old Navy) I'd use the 50$ free shipping. I'd buy a number of shirts or pants in different sizes to see which I liked at home and then just return what I didn't like or what didn't fit.

She selected them all in her favorite color, "blue", which really means pink.

Does she just call pink blue or something else?

She calls pink "blue". At this stage, she calls almost all colors "blue", except for purple, which sounds like "puh". ("Puh", incidentally, is also pacifier and pasta, so at this stage, I understand her largely based on the situation/contextual).

In the beginning, a few mornings went something like this--
Me: OKay, Amelia, time to put on your clothes.
Amelia: No! No! Mei Mei blue!
Me: Okay, the blue shirt, here ya go..
Amelia: No! No! Blue! Blue! Mei mei blue!
Me: This is a blue shirt. Here...
Amelia: NO! Blue!
Me: What? Here, come over to the drawer and pick it out yourself.

[Amelia picks out a pink shirt and happily holds it up to her chest]
Amelia: Mei Mei BLUE!
Me: That's pink.
Amelia: Ink?
Me: Yes, pink.
Amelia: Mei Mei ink.

And the next day, we have this same conversation again, with her calling it "blue".

I care! Way to go, mama, especially that deal on the Stride Rites!

And yes, I just discovered Old Navy Tall, too, and it feels pretty weird to have clothes that actually fit me!!

Yes, especially since we go through shoes every 3 months!

Those are awesome deals!!

Yes, they do! Old Navy Petite is also online only, just like Old Navy Tall, and is designed for women 5'4" and under! Go check it out!

Wow! I wish I were good at finding deals like that!

aliki February 17 2016, 21:34:05 UTC

I"m not always so good, that's why I had to brag now!

Woohoo for gymnastics! If you can find decently-priced kids' classes at a good gym, that can be really good for them. It's excellent not just for developing the physical skills but also confidence.
