I just got DS a mini and I thought it said 2-4 so maybe a bit early for a maxi then

The price jump is so steep [stock]

nicolamumof3wisemen · 02/12/2009 16:39

maclaren how tall is Max? i think he's quite a bit bigger than Tate isn't he? Tates only just going into 3/4 clothes he's 96cm i think when i measured him other day.

maxybrown · 02/12/2009 16:41

Nah the seller got what they obviously wanted for it, end of story. Let's face it, anything we sell could end up anywhere and for any price!!

OP posts:
StrictlyKatty · 02/12/2009 16:41

hahah I mean shock

I guess it's just cos DS is tall and the mini suits him so I was imagining him when he's 4 and it would look crazy! He's over the 100 percentile though.

I just feel sorry for the seller cos I'm a bit soft and they probs didn't know what they were selling! But hey they could have found out. That's the sort of thing I'd do, sell a Cartier for the price of a Casio

maxybrown · 02/12/2009 16:42

I thought he was 90cm SK?

OP posts:
StrictlyKatty · 02/12/2009 16:45

Maxy the HV measured today and he was 93cm

nicolamumof3wisemen · 02/12/2009 16:46

omg DH has just announce he wants boden baggies of his own!! typically they are all sold out. i would have had a four boys in baggies crazy family i have.

maybe they could have afforded to sell it for that?: they could be rich, they could have had it given to them, they might have found it in a skip!! haha, who knows. Maclaren's good at finding the bargains tho

maxybrown · 02/12/2009 16:51

Yes maybe they were laughing at Maclaren buying it for whatever she paid who bloomin well knows eh?!

Cor, he must have really short legs then Sk cos he is 7cm taller than James and I have never had to turn the Boden baggies up on him after you telling me they are dead long!

OP posts:
nicolamumof3wisemen · 02/12/2009 16:53

wow he' is tall then, he's alot taller than luka, he's 88cm so he's closer to Tates size than luka's. Tall i'd say as he's not yet 2!

StrictlyKatty · 02/12/2009 16:53

I think he's like me.... the length is in the torso... I have short arms but a long torso! Not a good combo!

nicolamumof3wisemen · 02/12/2009 16:54

haha SK that conjurs up a funny picture. Does the duffle still fit him then? as it wouldn't fit luka now i wish the boden stuff went to 2/3 in baby range as the boys stuff is soooo boring for spring.

they had lovely stuff in H&M today, all the cars jumpers i like and nice things in M&S.

maxybrown · 02/12/2009 16:57

Ooh I love H&M I am just short all round, but make up for it in the boob department DS is 86cm at the min. But my Dad and brother are tiny little dots, cute

OP posts:
maxybrown · 02/12/2009 16:58

Ha ha ha ha, that makes it sound like my dad and brother are shorter than DS right, headache coming back, must go

I'll have to measure my three boys, they are so tall!

Maclaren, you can get a buggysnuggle on a BJCE, you just poke the strings throught the mesh. I have a black/lime stars on my black bjcm and it looks lovely. Should really take pics to show you all.

StrictlyKatty · 02/12/2009 17:00

Duffle still fits fine. I roll the sleves and it fits perfectly length wise.

I rowed at uni and we did bench pull and the cox had to but the bench up higher than me as I have really short arms! 5"8 though....

maxybrown · 02/12/2009 17:01

Oh right SK! I am 4ft 11"

OP posts:
StrictlyKatty · 02/12/2009 17:07

HHahhahhaha that would explain things. I've just measured DS and I'm sure he's only 91cm HV coming on friday so will make her do it again. Head measurement is 50cm BTW Maxy.

Maclaren · 02/12/2009 17:12

Max is 116cm so a tad taller - but he has grown 11cm in a year

nicolamumof3wisemen · 02/12/2009 17:16

wow 11cm! thats alot what you been feeding him on, thats good tho, Tate never grows and i get so bored of his clothes bless him

maxybrown · 02/12/2009 17:17

Ah Nicola, that sounds like me with James

Health visitor coming to your house I have never even met mine!!!

OP posts:
nicolamumof3wisemen · 02/12/2009 17:20

oh mine came round after i had luka thats it. she sat there watching Tate climb out of highchair and i couldn't see as i was facing her talking and she didn't say a word. horrible.

maxybrown · 02/12/2009 17:23

I met a lovely health visitor when I had James but she wasn't mine, was standing in, that was it. Even at the clinic it wasn't health visitor, and when someone came to look at James for his lack of speech, I got the NNEB. then she was shocked that I knew what she was going to say and do, I had to say your job is normally my job! Then asked why I didn't have the health visitor and she said because the area in which I am registered 9not where we now live) is a well off one.........wtf? Make sense of that! So if you are rich, your children or you, don't have problems apparently

I got Tom the Little Tikes starter scooter frm Morrisons at the weekend for a tenner! Obviously not as sophisticated as a Micro one, but he is still very cautious with ride on toys!

FlyMeToDunoon · 02/12/2009 18:30

Hi. just checking in briefly before I run the DD's bath.

janxmas · 02/12/2009 18:45

Hi all
I have had the mother of all days...
Nicola - that is fine re parcel - post it when you can.
Am so impressed with my dd (proud mum)...she is really blossoming in reception - her reading is coming on staggering fast as is her writing - makes me want to cry with pride.
