Kid's Clothing for In-Country
Hello everyone, and a Happy Saturday to you all.
A few clothing questions:: We have bought TONS (WAY too many) clothes for our children - partially because it's SO much fun, and partially because we aren't sure if what we bring to wear in Russia will make it home (ie: may be soiled and need to be thrown out).
Anyhow, my plan was to bring two outfits and one pair of PJs per day for each child. A) Do you think this will be enough, and B) I am not 100% certain that the outfits/sizes will even fit them so do you think it's okay if I bring everything new (tags still on) that way I can return it and get some money back in the event that nothing fits. My plan, naturally was to wash it all first, but I stand to lose hundreds of dollars on each child if nothing fits. What to do? What to do?
Also, do you think that judging by their weights is a safe way to purchase clothing, or am I going to be WAY off base? I typically went by their weights, then up one size for stuff to be worn immediately, just to be safe.
Thank you!!!
