When purchasing kids clothes, do you
Purchase them the exact size or one size larger. I always purchase one size larger because they tend to get more wear out of them.
When it comes to shoes and boots, I do the exact same thing.
How about you?

In clothing I almost always buy a size larger. I just roll up Zachary's pants and sleeves.

I don't. My DH just hates to see Molly wearing pants that are too big.

i used to have to buy pants one or tow sizes too big just to get the length right. but now i can get pants at old navy with the adjustable thing int eh waistband so i just have to look for that. i make sure the length is to the floor in their stocking feet so that they will hopefully get at least one season out of them, but ds just proved me wrong in that one. he had a growth spurt since august and the pants that were on the floor are now above his ankle.
at least i can save them for dd to wear for play clothes.
