Shopping moms

So, there you are shopping at... (insert fave store)... Old Navy. Trying to figure out what size to buy. Should you buy the size 5 that he is currently wearing or go to the 6 so he has a little room to grow and maybe a second season? So while I am standing there having my internal debate a nearby mom says... I always go bigger. I thank her, chat for a moment and then move on to my next piece of clothing and another size debate. Meanwhile another mom asks, how old is my child and she too recommends go with the bigger size.

First, I must have had a very confused look on my face while shopping. Second, I appreciated the advice and last, I really love the camaraderie of being a mom. I can always count on another mom to give advice (wanted or otherwise), give me the knowing look of "been there done that" and "I understand your pain" and someone to lend a hand when I have dropped my purse and the entire contents while looking for my car keys (that were actually in my coat pocket).

Motherhood and its trials.... maybe I should rename my blog!
