Thanks.....So far so good. She is actually outside right now with DH. she's a dirty little pig and won;t come in. She is having fun hanging with dad...who is just siting on the tailgate of the truck talking to his buddy. To me that sounds boring, but she thinks it's fun. LOL!

I was such a daddy's girl and a tomboy to boot so I understand Claire just wanting to hang out with her daddy. Glad she is feeling better.

A little update on the Mary poppins dress I wanted to get made.

Well MIL called the Aunt who can sew, and she is now no longer sewing because her artritus has gotten so bad. So I was pretty bummed. Mil knows a few people who sew, but we were a bit worried how high the price would be as well. So we decided to contemplate that idea at the moment.
Then out of the blue this morning I remember that while looking at the book of costumes at Claire dance school I had seen a Mary Poppins dress that another group was going to wear in another show. I can't remember EXACTLY what it looked like, but I rememberd thinking it was really cute at the time and wondering if I could buy one. This was probably 2 months ago or so. The girl who works the office wasn't in that day, and I just kind of forgot about it. Well I contacted the school today and they said they could order me one and it is on stock right now. So I gave them the go ahead. Claire wears sizes 4-5 right now, and I decided on a 6 so she has room to grow. I wish I could remember exactly what it looked like though. LOL! But I know I thought it was cute, and she will love it. Now this will be a dance style one, so not as gorgeous as some of the handmade ones, but we'll doll it up with a paracelle and hat (I can't remember if the hat came with it or not) and she'll be happy with it. It will be a great Halloween costume and if we go to Disney next March, it will be coming along as well.

Thanks. I'm thinking that it's not the same though, because I think the picture I saw in the book had a little girl model in it. I guess it will be a surprise for all of us! LOL!

I also got to figure out where to get a pair of cute white boots like i've seen others have. Those are so cute!

 

[meanmom121]

no clue

 

[meanmom121]

web site - THE FIND - type in childrens high button boots -- they have them but for like $150.00

 

[jenseib]

LOL! A little high for shoes for Claire. LOL!

You should be able to find the same boots I had for my daughter. Ours are a bit small so I've been searching high and low looking for a pair in size 2/3, but have come up empty. I even called the manufacturer who says they have been discontinued.

If you google cha cha 202 (the style number), you will find some links to investigate. I don't know if they really have them. I only ask that if you find any in a 2/3, PLEASE let me know! The manufacturer is Pleaser.

Be sure to let me know how it goes!

OK, thanks. I'll be on the look out then.

I forgot to mention price. Ours were under $30 a pair. We did find black last year on 2/3 which I bought to go with her Mary Poppins nanny costume, but alas, no white....

Anyone know where to buy white spats or where to find a pattern to make some???

 

[jenseib]

Did they stop making that size or the boot in general?

 

[mom2rtk]

They discontinued that boot, but there could still be online sites with them in stock. I just know that when I did my thorough search last fall, I could not find the 2/3. At that time, the smaller sizes were still floating around. They came as 11/12 and 13/1.

I'll probably sell the pair of 13/1's we have eventually, but I'm still hoping there's an outside chance that with tights we might squeeze her into them for our fall trip!

 

[jenseib]

So far I'm not finding any white at all, but have seen some black ones.

YAY!!!!! I found a pair and ordered them. They only had small and Medium left in white. I got her a medium. She wears a 10 pretty much right now,(may be moving on to 11's though soon) and the M's are suppoed to be 13/1's, but I read they run really narrow and also I want her to fit in them for awhile. Especially if we do go next year. Then she can wear them and hopefully meet Mary somewhere.

YEAH! I'm so glad you found some. My daughter loves hers, so I'm sure Claire will too. Can you PM with where you found them? I've had a customer looking for some.

Just checking on Claire's recovery and seeing how you're holding up through the recovery process. Hope all is well

Glad ya founds some boots

She's been doing really well. This weekend is when it's supposed to get bad, but not too bad so far, Mostly really cranky today. She cried over anything and everything. my mom brought my neice over and we went swimming at my SIL on my DH's side across the street. They had fun, but when it was time to go Claire got bad. She screamed and cried and wanted to go to my moms too (and spend the night too) and we told her no, and she was laying on the gorund just screaming and kicking. my mom was amazed, she had never seen her act that way, and she doesn't very often either. She was horrid and I had to drag her to the house, only for her to run off again to give a final kiss and then she ran back in and cried in her room for over a half hour. then when it got quiet, I checked on her and she was asleep. I'm sure she'll wake up cranky again, but I knew she seemed extra tired today. Hopefully it gets better. LOL!

I would say though for the most part she has been doing really well. Much better than I expected.

 

[meanmom121]

poor girl. I'm sure she is just more tired than usual - healing takes a lot of energ. Didn't sound like a very easy day for either
