Update on Coat Nightmares

OK so these jackets have become kind of an obsession for Mommy now I called a million stores and NONE of them had the pink in small and they said the closest one to me is possibly in Brooklyn!!! Well that wouldn't do so I drove up to my local mall and found a pink XS and a red S. I bought them both and decided to try them on the pups so I knew what sizes they were so if it ended up I had to order them I would know for sure. The comparison between the XS and S is vastly different and it was hard to visualize in the stores how they would look on the pups. Here are the results

Ellie it seems is clearly too large for an XS as illustrated nicely in these pictures



But the small fits her perfectly!



Aidan however is a different story.

While the XS fits him wonderfully


He is just about as long as his sister thus making the XS just a wee bit short on him.


It make Mommy think of a kid whose pants are just a little too short for him.

Now the Small length wise is perfect for Aidan as well.


And buttons up nicely


However Aidan is not as filled in as his big sister and thus gives the appearance at times that the coat is wearing him more then he is wearing the coat


I am not sure if you can tell by this picture but the coats is clearly swimming a bit on his tiny body


Also I let the pups walk around a little and after a while Aidan's arm would slip right out of the arm hole and he would end up dragging part of it while he walked.

So Mommy is having a slight dilemma now in deciding which coat size to get for Aidan. The XS fits better and doesn't swim on him but is a bit too short as well. Length wise the S is better but it clearly is too large for him too. Mommy is thinking of getting the small still as Aidan might still fill out but hasn't 100% decided yet either. What she does know is that she wants these coats badly now after all the work she has put in trying to get them!! Any ideas whats the best for my little boy?

And lastly I leave you with some pictures of the two of them. Both of them were wiggle butts today so none of these are great so when their real coats come in Mommy will have a go at it again. In the meantime this is the best we got.




And two of my little boy in pink

The first one he looks mad at me for making him wear pink



And the second one he looks like his cute little self!



After all this trouble these are going to be their costumes Mommy decided. The red coat especially makes Mommy think of the rescue St Bernards who save people from snow drifts so thats what Aidan and Ellie are going to be. Maybe Mommy can find tiny barrels and attach them to them. If she filled them with Brandy like the real rescue dogs have then Mommy's sure Daddy will pretend he needs rescuing!
