If You Sleep Too Much

Kenneth used to say this funny little thing when he was around 4-5 years old. It was such a goofy thing, and I have no idea where it came from, but it seemed to tickle his funny bone! He would say in his little energetic voice, "If you sleep too much - you'll grow right out of your pants!" Ha-ha-ha!! =)

Well, I guess Sammy must have slept too much lately! For a couple months, he would complain about his legs hurting him, and I told him it's probably just growing pains. Little did I know, I would be feeling pains from his growing! When he started school last August, I bought size 7 jeans for him (he turned 7 in May after all), and they fit great. All of a sudden, though, he couldn't button them! He was spending waaay too much time getting dressed, and I would go up and find pair after pair of jeans on the floor. "I couldn't get them buttoned!" Uh, yeah - they were like, not even meeting in the center! How on earth did it get so bad without me noticing? Thank goodness for sweat pants to get us through! =)

So, off to find new jeans - can you believe this kid is wearing size 10's now!! =O They're a little long in the length, but not too much extra in the waist, so I'm praying they'll last! I did get him an 8 "husky" but they're really wacked out in size; the 10's fit better. Sigh... so hard to believe he's not even 8 yet, and wearing size 10 pants. I actually had to move Kenneth up to bigger church pants, so Sammy could have his. Next is snowpants... grr...
