"Auntie" Ree's bragging thread...again

[Ree]

My nephew sent me a picture of his little guy from the wedding last week. He was a ring bearer.

Is he not the most adorable little boy you ever saw?

Not that I'm biased or anything. :p ;)

[NightAngel]

He is a-freakin'-dorable! He's one of those kids that looks like a mini-adult. Too cute. :D

[COMINATCHA]

Aaaaaw, that's the cutest little boy i've ever seen. Do we have a smilie to express feelings of cuteness appreciation??

[FuzzyKitten99]

i love seeing kids all dressed up like that... too bad most of them hate it and tend to be crabby cuz they're uncomfortable and hot.

He's such a cutie pie....

I hated being dressed up as a child. Well, to this day I still don't like formal wear. I haven't dressed up like that since my Uncle's wedding in 2005.

The hardest task is keeping those kids' clothes clean! I have a feeling if I were ever a parent, I'd keep my babies and toddlers only in their diapers unless we were going out in public or it was winter time. Some of my friends have children and they buy expensive kids' clothes, only for those clothes to get stains upon stains that won't come out :(

[FuzzyKitten99]

those people who buy the name brand clothes for their kids solely for the name brand, and pay full price for them, are out of their minds. My kids have some Tommy Hilfiger and Nike stuff, but I get most of their clothes at "Once Upon A Child" which sells 2nd hand clothes & toys & other stuff, but they're super-picky about what they buy from people, so all of it is in really good shape if not new as some stuff is. I have gotten a few things that still had the original store tags on them. I even got a pair of really cute (brand new!) Nike Air Jordans for my 15mo, but I only paid $5 for them, so it's all good! I find a lot of Tommy Hilfiger, Old Navy, Baby Gap, Children's Place clothes there for anywhere from .50c to $5.00 depending on the item. I NEVER pay full price for clothes if I can help it.

I don't put my kids in nicer clothes unless we are going somewhere. Since I am home for most of the day, they play in whatever they can get dirty that I don't care if they stain it permanently. I even will have them wear the same stuff 2 days in a row if what they had on the previous day is still somewhat clean-meaning not caked in dirt or soaked with water or overly-dribbled on from eating. They're kids, they don't care. It helps save on laundry.

BTW, "Auntie Ree" is an adorable nickname.

I have a cousin who was dating a man who had a 2 year old daughter. She couldn't say my cousin's name so she always called her "ReeRee"

[NightAngel]

Back in the day Ree's screen name was Auntie ReeRee... or something close to that.

(Call me She-of-the-Short-Term-Memory.)

She couldn't say my cousin's name so she always called her "ReeRee"LOL...that's how I ended up with "Ree".
My little sister couldn't say my name, so I was "ReeRee" and then as I got older, it was shortened to just "Ree" by my family.

Back in the day Ree's screen name was Auntie ReeRee... or something close to that. Yep...that's true.

Then, after a hack, I shortened it to "AuntieRee" and on this one, it was just "Ree".

[BusBus]

The kid is cute and I am not biased! He'll be breaking hearts in ten years time.

What was your CS.com nickname before you were AuntieReeRee? It's on the tip of my tongue....
