so ya know the 'cape' that I got Buffy that I was thinking was probably a waste but was to cute?

GBCK

definately a waste.

She won't wear it--noplace to put her arms through and so she melted down over it twice and now runs if I touch it.

Maybe next year :-P

Was it the one from The Gap?   What size is it?  Maybe I'll buy it from you.... 
I can imagine that the no armholes thing might seem like a straight jacket to a child of a certain age.  DD loves her cape now that she's used to the little "hand"-holes and isn't trying to put her whole arm through it.

GBCK

it is the one from the gap--it's a 3T so a little to big for her anyhow (although, it's a cape.  It's not like they have strict sizings :-P)

It's white and kinda plaid.

And yeah, she treated it like a kiddy straightjacket.  she loved the one she had (which, i realize now DID have arm holes) last winter--but it is way to small.

AuntFlo

I remember that cape well.  It had a very mod 1960's London vibe to it.   Too bad it's too small for my DD. 
But you're right, maybe next year she'll wear it because she'll be able to handle the no arm hole thing.

GBCK

yeah, 3 year olds are significantly  more reasonable than 2 year olds, right?  *crickets *

I only spent $10 or so  on it (got it 2nd hand) so, if it doesn't work, it wasn't a great loss.  But I was hoping she'd lurve it.  Instead she's addicted to a pink zebra-stripe hoodie that's almost to small for her.  But I don't fight her on what she wears if I can avoid it.
