My name is Jenn, and I'm a 27 year old married and babied chick. In addition to a husband, a seven year old daughter, and a five year old autistic son, I also have four cats, three hermit crabs, two frogs, a few fish, and one snorty little Pug. I work from home doing a variety of writing and even some web design. I love blogging, digital photography and web design.
I’m a typical woman when it comes to my love of shopping. It’s awesome to be a mom, because I ALWAYS have a reason to shop. I can shop for myself, for my husband, for the house, for the cats, for the cars, and of course, for baby clothes for Alyssa and for Ryan. Right now I’m in the process of stocking up on spring and summer clothes for both kids. Alyssa hasn’t done too much growing weight-wise in the last year, so the pants that were loose last year and very long in the leg will fit perfectly this spring! She has a lot of t-shirts and tank tops, and quite a few summer skirts and dresses, so the only things left to get are a few pairs of capris and shorts, and most definitely a swimsuit. I’m really picky with swimsuits. I’m bored with the standard suits you see at Target and the like, and I’m not fond of the bikini style swimsuits that seem so popular for little girls.
This swimsuit, for instance, is lovely. I love the pink, I love the frilly, floral ballerina style of the swimsuit. The one thing I do not like, however, is the fact that it’s a two piece! Imagine how perfect it would be if it were a one piece. Now, I know I may seem a bit prudish, but is it really necessary to bare the bellies and non-existent chests of our toddlers and young girls? They’re going to be doing enough of it once they hit their teens. We should try to protect their innocence as long as we can… and another good argument for a one piece? One less area of skin to risk getting sunburned!
Anyway, I found that swimsuit at sandboxcouture.com, a site that sells baby clothes, childrens clothes, baby gifts and more.
If you’re prudish then so am I, because I agree with you. I’m 20 and still wouldn’t wear a bikini swimsuit now! I think it’s just too much on show, and, like you said, a sunburn risk too!
I hope you find something cute and appropriate for Alyssa.
