I have a son (5) and a daughter (3). I hand all his jeans and sweats and jammies down to her (because seriously - why do toddler girls' clothes have to be so trampy?).<br /><br />The thing that is confusing is a) my husband can't remember when his clothes become hers and b) the boys clothes run bigger than the girls, so she will often be wearing 2T boys and 4T girls at the same time. <br /><br />I just went thru all the clothes for my semi-annual clean out, and I am totally going to add dots to things. <br /><br />It occured to me to add iron-on flowers or butterflies to the jeans, but after I am done, I pass stuff on to a family of boys. Plus because I can't seem to find the time or energy to iron on stuff. <br /><br />And plus I don't have an iron... This is a great idea! I have a son (5) and a daughter (3).

It occured to me to add iron-on flowers or butterflies to the jeans, but after I am done, I pass stuff on to a family of boys. Plus because I can't seem to find the time or energy to iron on stuff.

And plus I don't have an iron…

I have two boys and I can't tell you how many times after I carefully lay out clothes they come out wearing their brother's clothes. Not too bad for the younger, but pretty funny looking for the older! Thanks for this idea!

His parents had a similar system--1 dot for the oldest, 2 for the middle (that's my hubs now) and a line (Connect the dots!) for the youngest. Hand-me-downs never hurt anybody! In fact, they still swap clothes back and forth a lot, only now it's by size, rather than age and the "big" brother is now the smallest of the three...
