I admit that our family tends to dress a little more formal than others, it is just an inherent part of us that both my husband and I grew up with! With that being said, it is not for everyone!! I will say that more often than not, however, that people reach out to me to ask where I find these “formal clothes” especially for my boys! Darling clothes for girls are a dime a dozen! Boys clothes, however, are way more difficult to find! And then even when you find them, will your son even wear it!?!
I was once that girl! The girl who was taller than everyone in her class, including the boys! The one who stood at the end of the line in height order and the back-row center of all school pictures. Trust me when I say it is the greatest blessing, but I know it won’t always be easy to see it that way! Remember when people say “look how big you are” to immediately take it as a compliment and forgive their wording if it doesn’t sound flattering. You see, people don’t mean to sound insensitive, they just don’t even consider their words before they say them. My mom was truly the most incredible influence as she was so quick to program my brain that tall=beautiful!
Well it probably comes as no surprise as a girly girl that I always envisioned having a daughter! When we found out through a DNA test that we were having a girl, I almost could not believe it...especially after two boys! (You can watch our Gender Reveal on Instagram). Our odds were quite high for having another boy, and we had come to terms with that ahead of time. When it started to sink in that the DNA test only had a .5% chance of being inaccurate, the planning started to begin. Our nursery had already had two iterations of Navy and White for both boys, so now it was time for a major mix up!
