Lo is like 25th percentile in weight but 50th in height, so really long and skinny, so she definitely grows out of the length before the waist. I don't mind in the summer at all--they just look like capris, haha. She only has rainboots right now but maybe I should get her other boots too so that her ankles won't be exposed on cold but not rainy days... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2664031 Mon, 12 Dec 2016 01:07:04 +0000 lemondrop 2664031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always with Cam. He's very tall for his age, but skinny, so pants are either too short and fit at the waist or sag and are the right length. I can't win, but I'm super short so I'm happy he's tall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663999 Sun, 11 Dec 2016 21:55:42 +0000 caterw 2663999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I constantly have this problem... DD is super tall and skinny so she is a 3t (or sometimes even a 2t) in the waist but a 4 or 5 in length. Her leggings are always both slightly baggy and slightly too short lol. I'm glad it is boot time so she doesn't look unkempt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663833 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 18:06:24 +0000 anonysquire 2663833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never had this problem. I'm always buying the next size long before we grow out of the current size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663769 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 10:47:07 +0000 Cole 2663769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this issue too! Our one pair of Hanna Andersen are the right length but holy moly they aren't cheap! When it's warm enough (and I definitely push the envelope on this definition) I stick her in mini Melissas and no socks and just pretend it's the look I'm going for. Her boots are ankle height and almost make it look worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663768 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 10:26:34 +0000 Miss Ariel 2663768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Us too. My mil always points it out. But a lot of the time her pants will bunch up making it worse than it actually is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663741 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 04:07:08 +0000 FannyMae 2663741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep my 4.5yr old is currently a size 7, but some of her older leggings are short in the leg, so ankles and socks are showing. We are about to hit summer here (though our weather is still cold some days), so i'm hoping to ditch the old crappy leggings and wear shorts until early next year when she can wear new leggings to kinder. </p> <p>I'm finding it really hard to find nice thick warm leggings that aren't see throught, so I might splurge and order some of the gap cozy leggings and have them shipped internationally. Can anyone vouch for their coziness? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663737 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 01:41:28 +0000 808love 2663737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has one pair like this. I convinced myself they passed for long capris. Wait--is this a reality check thread? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663720 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 23:34:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 2663720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ankles aren't usually a problem- she seems to have short legs- but her shirts ride up over her tummy sometimes! Not a great look especially paired with leggings, and she only wears leggings these days. I just bought a bunch of new shirts that are a little big and very long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663533 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 14:26:20 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2663533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ankle pants are in right now....haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663521 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 14:11:25 +0000 delight 2663521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: ugh yes I was just noticing this today. I'm<br /> Sure she is in the right sized pants but they all seem too short. I'm just going to have her wear her socks pulled up over her pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663501 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 13:41:27 +0000 petitenoisette 2663501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is kind of between 18 and 2T sizes but I bought all 2T for the winter (seeing as she's 21 months old!) so all her pants are a little too long. I hadn't thought about how that's definitely preferable for winter weather! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663459 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 12:59:12 +0000 lilteacherbee 2663459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my boys are short like me, so we have the opposite problem :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663452 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 12:51:06 +0000 snowjewelz 2663452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are some leggings I let DD wear that do come a little short. We just do longer socks and/or boots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663447 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 12:46:09 +0000 Mrsbells 2663447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: when we had this issue we would do longer socks and boots. or i would retire those leggings and she would only wear them at home </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663446 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 12:41:28 +0000 Smurfette 2663446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It drives me crazy to see her socks. But with leggings and sneakers there is no way to help it. I try and do boots on the weekends so I don't have to see the socks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663440 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 12:34:37 +0000 alphagam84 2663440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter wears cloth diapers so I have to size up to fit her fluff but which eliminates the length issue. If we didn't, her pants would look like capri's! Annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663434 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 12:26:39 +0000 lamariniere 2663434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has two pairs of pants that are above ankle, but he's going to stay in them for a few more months. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663414 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 11:45:44 +0000 erinbaderin 2663414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either his ankles are showing or his pants are falling down when he runs. I'm jealous of the parents of girls who can just put leggings on their kids, I bought B some leggings for his Halloween costume and they fit him so well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663406 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 11:27:27 +0000 Iced Tea 2663406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this issue too. My daughter is long and lean. If it's really cold I have her wear boots or something. I also just bought some leg warmers. </p> <p>Her normal pants are all too big in the waist, so she lives in leggings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663402 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 11:22:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2663402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like leggings always have this issue! We do it with boots to help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663398 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 11:15:24 +0000 lilyann 2663398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this problem with DS1. He has gotten so skinny and tall that it's hard to find pants that fit right. He wears a lot of high tops :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663397 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 11:11:49 +0000 yellowbird 2663397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I just have her wear boots and it's not a big deal! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-kids-ankles-showing#post-2663392 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 11:06:48 +0000 mediagirl 2663392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's winter. She have been wearing leggings. And now, my daughter has grown taller but not wider and her ankles are showing. She has one pair of leggings that is long enough to cover her ankle bone. Anyone else having this problem? </p>
