Tall generation
Hello!
I'm a single mom of a daughter (9) and a son (12). I was wondering if anyone has the experience I have of having a VERY tall child. My daughter is 5'3" and it's next to impossible to find clothing that fit her(thank God for sewing machines) and she's, of course, the tallest kid in her grade. There are however some other tall girls in her class (making the boys look small!). She's also quite a bit taller than her older brother. None of this seems to be an issue for her at this moment. I'm just curious though, it seems we're breeding a much taller generation of girls! kind regards to all |

Seeing your name and lenght of your daughter, my first question: are you Dutch? If you are, and live in the Netherlands, you may be able to find some specialized kid's stores that have clothing for tall kids. If not, I'm afraid your sowing machine will have to do. I am dreading this problem, as DS is already wearing size T2 and T3 (for 2-3 y/o), and here in the US there isn't much clothing for tall and thin kids, especially boys... I am tall myself, always have been, and it has always been a problem in finding clothes. Length-wise, I need two sizes more than width-wise, and it was even worse when I was younger. I recall to be the tallest in my class for many years, until the boys hit their growth-spurt at ages ~14-15. -- -- Ilse mom to Olaf (07/15/2002) TTC #2 "What's the use of brains if you are a girl?"
