But first here's a quick tip to make getting your toddler dressed just that little bit more fun...
A Stupid Question?
One thing you need to ask before you go out and buy any toddler clothing is - what do you want it for?
While this sounds the most stupid question ever, stick with me because sometimes our parental pride makes us buy completely unsuitable clothes for our kids!
Scenario 1 - Wedding We all know we have to look smart for weddings. However, think carefully before you try to extend this rule too far as regards young children.
Big occasions like this are times when your toddler will want to run round, play, and could start getting seriously bored (think of all that sitting still...)
So it's worth seriously questioning the need to dress your toddler in restrictive or easily torn outfits. If wedding etiquette demands formal clothes - whatever the age - it might be worth asking if you can change your child into something that is more child-friendly - but still smart - for the reception.
Scenario 2 - Nursery/Daycare ...is a place to have fun and get filthy! Well not everyday, but the point is that you should never send your toddler to daycare in clothes that you would be upset to see covered in paint and the remnants of their lunch.
