Walk the Talk

Tweet

Who hasn't heard the phrase, "because I told you so!".......and I'm betting it was your mom or dad who said it more than once in your lifetime!  Of course there are times when it's totally logical and acceptable to use that phrase....but, have you ever had it come back to "bite you" later?

 

I was thinking about how we tell our children to do this, do that...think this, think that, and assume they'll just do it "because we said so".  And yet, how many times have you told your children to do something and then turned around and done the opposite yourself......you know they do watch and listen to us!  

For instance, they come home from school one day upset 

 because of what a classmate said to them.  We try to toughen them up and tell them to just "turn the other cheek" to that person and be kind to everyone.......maybe good in theory, but that's hardly the solution.  And, then......oh my.......they over hear you telling one of your friends what "so and so" said about you or someone else, and your children can hear the anger in the tone of your voice.  So what kind of message is that to your child?  The "do as I say, because I said so" is hardly worth the air you breathed, if you turn around and contradict yourself.

It's so important to really listen to what our children are telling us, and then "walk the talk" if we expect them to do what we've told them to do.  I know it's easy to say, and so much harder to do, but parenting is never promised to be easy.  Parenting is perhaps one of the most exhausting, frustrating, perplexing and lonely things a human will ever undertake.  There are a million books and articles on "how to parent", but in the midst of life we are pretty much left to our own devices.  

 
 

There will be times that we look and sound like the Dali Lama in our wisdom, and there are times we'll look like a raving maniac......but, the short of it is, that if you expect your children to do as you say, you can't just order an edict and expect them to comply if you don't follow your own advice.  Why?  

"Because I said so!"

Little Boys Tuxedos - We Can Dress Them Picture Perfect!

Tweet

There comes a time in many a boy's life, when they have to wear a suit or tuxedo.  If it's a tuxedo that's required, the task of finding the right one can be daunting.  And....if you've called around to any of the men's stores that rent tuxedos, you know how expensive that is--just to wear for one occasion!  You can generally buy a tuxedo from Adorable Baby Clothing for less than you could rent one!  Hooray!  We can help by providing a wide array of styles, colors, and even the ability to choose the color of the vest and tie, so you're little guy is really the dashing one!

 
If you're planning your wedding and you've decided the Ring Bearer should wear a tuxedo, you're in luck at Adorable Baby Clothing.  Not only do our tuxedos come in a WIDE  array of sizes (3-6M up to a Boy's 14), and styles, you'll even be able to customize the color of the vest and tie on many of them to coordinate with your bridal party.  An added bonus is the quality of the workmanship, and the impeccable detailing of each and every tuxedo.  You could pay a lot more, and still not find the quality of our tuxedos.

Boys being boys, generally means they're not going to be sitting or standing still for very long.  Lito recognizes that kids are going to be kids, and whatever they're wearing needs to be able to stand up to their movements, and still look good at the end of the event.  Every tuxedo is designed for style, but made to move with your little guy.  They resist wrinkling, hold their shape, and when it's all said and done, you may just have to hang it back on the hanger when you take it off him.  If sizing is a concern, not to worry!  We can help you with that, and if it's not the right size, you are more than welcome to exchange it.

We invite you to take a look at all the incredibly "dashing" tuxedo styles and colors available to you.  Most are each available in Black, White, or Ivory, and sizes generally range from 3-6M to a Boy's 14.  This is perfect when you're trying to dress more than one boy in the same outfit!  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us at either customercare@adorablebabyclothing.com or
