Clothes

Thanks to all of you that have sent or in other ways have given us clothes for Elin, Oscar and Filip. Most of you have provided three sets of clothes that in some way are matched, or all the same. We must have ten different outfits so far that should make it possible for the three babies to wear similar clothes at the same time.

But we have not once been able to dress them in that way!

First reason: Clothes are a low priority these days. Yes, we do dress them, but we don't put in much effort in choosing - we just pick something that is in the right size whenever we need something new to put on. We seldom change clothes on the babies other than if it is necessary (due to some soft of "accident"). Pyjamas is something we never mind, accept if a change of clothes has become necessary in the late evening. Babies sleep as well in regular soft clothes as in a pajamas!

The mentioned "accidents" occur at least once every 24 hours, and often more often than that. On the two or three occasions when we have attempted on putting on matching clothes accidents has always struck, ruining that set of clean clothes.

Second reason: Oscar cannot wear the same size as Elin and Filip. So if we were to dress them in one of the matching sets we have, one or two would have clothes that do not fit... (Oscar is currently best fitted with a size 50, and Elin and Filip size 45. Shortly this will probably be 56 and 50.)

So, if you miss photos of babies in matching clothes, that's the explanation of why we never seem to produce such... (The only photos with matching clothes we do have are when the babies wear their fleece suits that are the only out-door wear we have at the moment.)

The wardrobe is at the moment pretty full of onesies (Swedish: "bodies") in a number of sizes, while the stock of pants, sweaters and sock could be improved. We'll see when we can get out of the house long enough to stock up some...
