the_rckSunday, our clothing exchange met. It's a group of local families with small kids who meet twice a year to swap clothes. We're getting to the point where we're not likely to get much from it, but it's been a big help the last couple of years. Well, apart from the fact that Delia decided to wear only dresses starting last summer. She wouldn't even wear jumpers this winter (she would in the summer since she considered them just normal sundresses). We had to buy those.
The families in the group have been aging, though, and the exchange currently has more clothes for small kids than it has kids to wear them. The organizers are going to be posting to the local parenting Yahoo list, looking for families interested in joining, girls size 3T and under and boys size 2T and under. If new families can't be found, the organizers will try to find some place willing to take donations.
This time, we got about three pairs of size five shorts, a few nightgowns, a couple of t-shirts and a lot of underwear. There was some winter stuff in Delia's size, but I didn't want to take it and store it. Delia can still wear last year's shorts and t-shirts. The shirts may not last the summer as they're just the right length now, but she also doesn't wear those much. The shorts are a better prospect for lasting as, even if she gets taller, they should still fit her skinny frame. She's been given a lot of new dresses by various relatives. Assuming it gets warm enough for sundresses and that we're careful about sunscreen, she should be clothed for the summer. Well, unless she suddenly rejects dresses...
