Vegas Baby!

Upon returning from a recent trip to Las Vegas for the annual Magic Kids and Kidshow retail trade shows I found myself surrounded by a wealth of literature and a few really interesting products. "Presents" I sung as I walked in the door. Amelia, my 3 year old happily dug into my bag while I tried on Lily's new gift. A coverall from the talented designers at Chic Tots. She was hesitant, but yielded and we set her to work with a banana and some yogurt. She made a mess as always and luckily avoided her hair this time. We removed the coverall and... it worked fabulously. The cute fabrics and easy cleanup have prompted me to order another so I can always have one on hand. I even tried it on my 3 year old - a full year older then the sizing suggests. The sleeves were a little short & snug but that was fine for painting. She loved the new "smock" so I suppose I'll have to get her one as well.
