[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I buy bigger. 
I also would not allow a 4yo to dictate what clothes she’s not wearing. Pants especially can be passed down. Maybe buy him more gender neutral stuff. 
My kid is 11 and 90% of her clothes are hand me downs of thrift stores clothes. She doesn’t care. She came with me last week and got 3 pairs of jeans for less that what I paid for one pair at Old Navy last winter. [/quote]

My 4yo was made fun of in preschool for wearing “boys clothes-“ I would dress her in jeans to avoid getting skinned knees on the playground. I should have just let my daughter wear what she wanted to wear instead of making her wear less girly clothes and seeing her get made fun of by other bossy 4yo girls.  When little girls wear clothes for little girls it expresses their gender identity. I would never make a girl wear boys clothes to save money if she obviously doesn’t want to wear them. [/quote]

Wth is wrong with your preschool that they didn’t shut that down immediately?!  I shop for both my young kids in the “boys” and “girls” sides of the store and I think it’s totally ridiculous to gender clothes for toddlers anyway.  My 4yo daughter and 2yo son almost always prefer leggings and a t shirt to any other clothing option.

And to OP’s question, I buy a little big although I’m buying closer to size now that my older isn’t going through more than one size a season any more.[/quote]
