I hope it was a poor choice of words rather than a dis. <BR/>I get a lot of comments on my daughter's clothes and I will often mention that I got a deal on whatever she is wearing. I love a deal. I love Bonnie Togs and Old Navy but I often find sale prices at Gap and Gymboree are similar if not better.<BR/>Maybe she's a shopper?<BR/>Time will tell I'm sure.

Sort of. My mom and my MIL both buy super-cute clothes for my daughter, and I won't let her wear them to daycare because at daycare they play in the dirt every day. I love that they play in the dirt -- but they're not doing so in such nice clothes!
