War, the jeans from Children's Place have adjustable waists. I have to buy those for Jenna because she doesn't have any hips and her pants will just fall down without it.

A good pharmacist can be very helpful. I have a friend who is a pharmacist and I was astonished at how demanding the entrance into the program is and the education and knowledge required to become a pharmacist. Hope she feels better soon!

Thanks you guys. She doesn't feel bad, she is just really congested and you can hear it in her voice and she keeps sniffing and stuff! If we can get through tonight, she can rest, and doesn't have to perform again until Sunday night.

Do they make stretch denim for kids? Those might be a little more forgiving as far as being the exact measurements for height, waist, etc.

Scoots, I would recommend using a spray nasal decongestant, about 30 minutes before she goes on; then repeat if necessary. Use half the dose the first time, in case you need to repeat it. They work very well short term, and don't cause drowsiness.

On the other end of the spectrum...do they make "slims" anymore? Where do they carry those. I know I always wore slims, and dd has my build. I don't know where I'd be with out those waist tightening thingies!!!!

Jewels, that no hips thing is Caleb, lol. Those built in belts helped a lot before we started buying them based on waist and leg legnth. Wal Mart carries slims...I'll take that back, they are not really slims but they are what I call skinny jeans. Dakota's faded glory jeans that fit perfectly are a size 8, but buying other brands there we have to go up to a 10 or a 12 and when you hold the damn things up against each other, 8, 10, and 12 don't look like there's much difference in waist size. They also carry the stretchy jeans which I hate for her. On my niece those types of jeans are cute, she's got long legs and is very slim, but on Dakota, who's got short legs and is very solid (muscles) from the waist down it looks like we're trying to sausage her into too tight jeans. I am begining to see part of my problem though, lol. I never go to the mall (gap, children's place, old navy and Kohl's right next door to the mall.) I tend to shop around town at small clothing stores or when I'm in a hurry like last night where she had to have something for school pics Wal Mart or Target. Scooter, our ped gave us some samples of one of the robitussin's that was a non drowsy formula a while back and it was awesome! We've tried pretty much everything with Kota and that was one that worked real well to clear her up and didn't leave her grumpy or drowsy. Unfortunately I don't have anymore of the bottles and I can't remember which one it was other than the sample bottles had "non drowsy" written on them.

Kaykay, I haven't been able to find faded glory for her in a while there. It could just be that our WalMart is on the verge of moving next door into a new building and becoming Super WalMart and they might not be stocking as much as they were while getting ready for the move.

Thanks Kaykay, I'll check online. And I think I'll take her out to the mall this weekend and see if we can find some stuff at some of the stores listed above as well. Both of the kidlets really need all new stuff but we've kinda been putting it off because we're so close to warm weather, yet not quite ready for shorts and t- shirts, lol. Of course then I'll be back gripping about how I can find a decent swim suit for her because while she's got the short arms and legs, she's very long through the trunk and can't fit into one piece bathing suits and I have to dress my 8 year old in a freaking bikini (ok, i do manage to find the boy shorts type bottoms, but that's been getting hard the last couple years!) I hate clothes shopping.

It is not just my imagination, sizes on kids clothes are out of whack, lol! Friday night I was shopping at Walmart and saw they had kid t-shirts on sale. I picked up a couple for Caleb (size large, 10-12) and then wandered over to the girls clothes and picked out a couple for Kota. Since she's so long through chest, stomach, waist area, I always go for a larger size so they'll be a little baggy, but won't lift up when she moves her arms. Anyways, I picked up a large and thought something didn't quite look right. Same size as the ones I bought Caleb but when I held them up against each other his was much bigger than hers. So I grabbed a couple extra larges (14-16.) I brought them home and she tried them on yesterday, they still seemed rather small. When my nieces came over, I asked my oldest niece to try one on. She's the complete opposite of Dakota, very petite, short and slim. She wears a 6x shirt....the damn shirts I bought Dakota fit her so perfectly I ended up sending them home with her. Judging by my neighbors older girls (12 and 13) and their friends, I know snug t-shirts that barely reach the button on a pair of jeans are in style but I refuse to dress my little girl like that, she's 8! We're planning on taking her out later today to the mall and some of the stores around there and see if we can find enough to make it through til summer. Landi, aren't speedos kind of expensive? She's still going through 1-2 growth spurts a year so anything we buy this summer isn't going to fit next summer. I'm cheap, I don't want to spend more that $15-$20 on something she'll wear for four months...and something that she'll only be wearing in the front yard at home.

We fight this fight at school on a daily basis. Keeping the three B's in check is almost a full time job (butts, boobs, and bellies) - I teach sixth grade, and you'd think they were all going clubbing after school. Most of them are still little kids inside their heads, but they sure don't dress that way anymore!

Because they can't find anything to fit right, lol! We went to Kohl's tonight and I'm positive we went through everything they had on their racks. At one point she went into the dressing room with a size 12 pair of jeans and some extra large tshirts and came out, Darren took one look at the snug tshirt and the jeans that were tight and 8 inches too long and went "Oh hell no, not my little girl!" One of the sales clerks happened to be walking by and stopped to ask what the problem was and when we explained short legs and that she doesn't fit into slim jeans, she kinda laughed and said this was a pretty common problem. Girls clothes are cut slim while boys are cut larger and usually it's the boys who need them slim. She was real helpful though, said she thought they still had some levi's in the store room and they have a better variety in cuts so she went to grab us several different sizes. Sure enough, size 8 Levi's fit her perfect, though they're still a little long which is probably a good thing since she's about due to grow a couple inches. I'll be checking out some more stores because I know all of them can't be carrying the same things. My cousin dropped off some soccer stuff for Caleb tonight and told me he's got the same problem with is girls, then told me about a couple of the smaller stores at the mall that sell kids clothes we might have some luck at, besides the Children's Place? (I think that's what it's called.) Bearware, I think I'm really lucky with Kota. She helps to pick out most of her own clothes and has a good eye for what she'll look good in. And she seems to know that short shorts and skirts/dresses don't really flatter her. Besides the fact that both me and Darren would have to be in a coma before she could buy something like that, lol!

Lol! Then you've done very well indeed! Most kids are good kids, the important thing is to appreciate them. I'm glad you've found the Levi's, jeans are WAY important! (Wish I could find a pair that fit right, as well!)
