Stuff for the Kids

A lot of people are asking if we need anything for the kids, which we really appreciate, so I decided to post it here so I wouldn't forget anything.

LEXIE
She really doesn't need any more clothes for at least a year. Thanks to the generosity of family and friends she is all set, especially from newborn through 6 months old. She is going to be one stylin' little girl!

She's even all set for coats, buntings, tights and clothes through next winter. She already has plenty of shoes for fall & winter, too. She could maybe use some warm feet jammies in size 9-12 months.

If you really can't resist those darling pink girl's clothes (and who can?!) she can eventually use summer stuff in 12-18 month sizes.

And of course, she can always use diapers in sizes 1 or 2. I don't expect her to fit into the newborn ones for very long!

LUKE
Since he is small for his age, he's still in 12-18 month pants right now, and most of the 18 month ones are way too long. (He's got short little legs!) So, his 18 month pants should be perfect for next fall and winter, which he has plenty of. He probably won't fit into his 2T pants until late next winter, and by then he'll be ready for some 2T shorts.

One thing he really needs is size 18 month summer jammies. My sister recommends lightweight shirt and pant sets that snap at the waist and have no feet, which is what her boys wore. And for next winter he'll be needing size 2T warm feet jammies. He could probably use some 18-24 month onesies in different colors, too.

Thank you everyone who's been asking what we need. We appreciate your thoughtfulness!

Also, please let me know if you come across the following items, cheap, at garage sales or thrift stores (Please... don't buy them yourselves - we'll go pick them up; we're not asking anyone to spend money for these larger items):
- a small Little Tikes table and chairs set for Luke (they've got to be really low to the ground and sturdy since he's so short);
- a small outdoor slide or something Luke can climb on;
- a small wooden portable crib for Lexie like the ones they use in daycares. (We already have a pack 'n play for once she outgrows the bassinet, but are hoping to find something small and sturdy, with adjustable mattress heights, that can fit into a tight corner of our bedroom).

Thanks for all your help and prayers!
