RE: [apmultiples] gender stereotypes


It would seem that we belong to the "LaRee Brown" school of
baby-clothing!   We got frustrated when we couldn't find snap or zip crotch
all-in-one things after they got to 18 month sizes!  Now in the bitter
weather they wear longsleeve turtleneck onesies and sweatpants with a
fleece on top if it is really cold!

This might also be a good place to mention how much we like Robeez, soft
washable leather shoes they wore outdoors till cold weather.  Inside, now,
they keep them from taking off their socks!  Who said that a sweater is
something you wear because your mother is cold?  If my feet are cold I
don't want them barefoot!
