No no, the clothes fit; I washed the kid on hot, and she shrank.

Kiera has lately decided that she wants to wear Molly's dresses. They are floor length on her. This would be somewhat less disconcerting if she were not also insisting on wearing Molly's shoes. Kiera wears a toddler size 8 or 9; shoe sizes count up to 13 and then start over at 1, and this pair of shoes is a size 1. Kiera shoves her toes down to the end and then very carefully clomps around in them; they rarely fall off her feet.

I find myself wanting to tell strangers at the library and the store, "You know, she does have clothes that fit her. I buy her shoes. She just insists on wearing these, and I'm not going to fight her on it."

Molly has protested the dresses, but doesn't seem to care about the shoes, as they're not all that comfortable and she'd rather wear her sandals.

Samantha would be absolutely engulfed in fabric if she tried to wear Rachel's clothes. Rachel is on a path to be tall like Daddy, and Samantha on a path to be short like--well, her other parent. Sammi is wearing pajamas tonight that Rachel wore at 9 months old--Samantha is two and a half!
