[blparent] Labeling Clothes

[Erin Rumer]

I too try to keep it simple but cute for Dawson with shirts of different
kinds or one pieces if I can find them.  The pants can go with anything so
it doesn't matter what shirt I put on him.  I do have some dressier shirts
but those are easy to feel the difference.  I recently did get a bunch of
clothes given to me by a friend which is much appreciated but there are a
lot of matching shorts with shirts.  Some of them I can feel the similarity
but I just throw him in whatever I find that feels nice together and my
husband and sighted friends tell me that Dawson always looks cute.  The
lesson here that I learned is that it usually doesn't matter if the shirt is
an exact match to the shorts because often times they look cute in whatever
you put them in.

By the way, since we're on the subject of clothing for kids, I just heard
about some really cute socks that Target and Baby's R Us sells that have
rubber soles.  I am hoping to go check them out for myself and get a pair.
I'm sure these sock-shoes can be found in multiple locations as well.  If
anyone else has purchased these, please let me know how you like them
because the two friends that I heard about these from love them.

Dawson and I are off tomorrow to North Dakota for a week to visit family.
We'll let you know of our exciting adventures when we get back.

Hi,

As of now, I try and safety pin matching clothes. Although, they open in the
wash sometimes. My husband who is sighted tends to help, but that can take
forever and a day to happen. So, one thing I've been doing is to try and get
clothes that are easy to match. Erik has very basic pants: jeans, blue
cotton pants, brown pants, gray pants and kahki. It is a little easier to
just match onesies to those pants. We still get outfits at times, but he
doesn't stay in them long enough for me to get accustom to the way they
feel. And, as babies get bigger, I've noticed, they have (or can have) less
complicated sets.

Don't know if that helps but ... I'd like to hear what other parents have to
say.
