Darn Thomas the Tank Engine!

[*SarahR*]

and in particular my son's obsession with him.

I have just been in the loft looking for bigger vests etc for Stella as she is such a chunky monkey, 6-9 months are getting tight . I did find plenty of vests, which are fine, but also discovered that nearly all of Monty's 12-18month clothes (including pyjamas) appear to be covered in Thomas the Tank Engine . I fear my little girl will not be wearing many hand-me-downs over the winter .

I am not especially fussy about her wearing girly stuff, I reuse plenty of jeans, sleepsuits and plain/stripey t-shirts, but I draw the line at Thomas!

Thankfully as soon as I realised I was pg I started buying neutral pj's and as much other unisex stuff as possible so won't have this problem for too long!

You're lucky you've got a boy first though, I think she'll get a lot more chance to wear hand-me-downs that Elliot will of Anna's clothes . You could reuse all the PJs & vests as they'll be underneath other clothes .

At the moment Elliot is sleeping in pink sleeping bags; I always bought white vests anyway but I don't think I've got anything I can reuse now .

Poppy loves her Thomas pyjamas handed down from my cousin. So much so that when we went to buy her some new pyjamas she actually chose Thomas ones from the shop! However, she is still a very girly girl in other ways, more so than I ever was!

I had to buy Emma boys pjs when she wanted noddy ones, they've started doing girls noddy ones now. They're currently Holly's favourite.

This is so true Duckie. If I had had them the other way around I would have bought into the pink far more I think, and wouldn't have had much I could reuse. And fortunately a lot of M's stuff when he was about 1 was actually hand-me-downs anyway, so I at least it has all been worn a fair bit, although still with life in it imo.

I am definitely re-using vests (of which I seem to have hundreds ), sleeping bags etc. And socks . At tho mo she wears heaps of his old things, but I think I went through a very boyish tractor, train and truck phase for M, which I am not keen to put her in . Now I just buy him stripes, she can wear those when she is older no problem .

Hobgoblin, that is really cute .
