She loves Disney princesses and faries, and always wants a dress on. </p> <p>She also has super hero clothes. She thinks she's bat girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1512517 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 14:36:10 +0000 MrsH 1512517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - too young to ask :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1512513 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 14:34:33 +0000 Elderberrygin 1512513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does a Superwoman onesie count? I love all things comic book and superhero related, so she'll probably get a fair few superhero clothes. And I have no problems with princess stuff as long as there's a mix of things. I may try to steer her toward the spunkier princesses and get her a Princess Merida outfit rather than, say, Ariel stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1512179 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:08:47 +0000 BoogieBea 1512179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They both have superman logo tshirts. They look so cute when they wear them together. The princess stuff I don't like so I've been staying away. My daughter likes whatever my son likes anyway so so far, she hasn't asked for anything princess. She loves cats though and is into hello kitty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1512018 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 12:28:57 +0000 mediagirl 1512018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't have any personal preference on anything and she's not into anything like that yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511980 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 12:17:52 +0000 autumnlove 1511980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have some Supergirl/man stuff. I buy licensed, princess &amp; superhero products...it isn't a big issue to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511977 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 12:17:06 +0000 SAHM0811 1511977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sophs Mama: totally agree with you re: recent princesses. We are big fans of those you mentioned, plus Mulan and Merida! I also don't see the big deal about licensed character clothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511961 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 12:13:04 +0000 HabesBabe 1511961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have any yet, because she hasn't shown an interest (she sat through 10 minutes of Cinderella and The Little Mermaid before getting bored). Once she's into it, though, I will totally get her princess/superhero stuff as long as it doesn't cost an arm and a leg!</p> <p>I have no issues with licensed characters and I feel that's a big part of being a kid/toddler. My gripe is that $20 for a t-shirt is ridiculous, but that's what some baby clothes cost already (Baby Gap, Tea, etc.) and I refuse to spend money on those, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511935 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 12:05:38 +0000 Sophs Mama 1511935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy our daughter all kinds of shirts. She has: Star Wars, Supergirl, Spiderman, Ghostbusters, Sofia the First, Doc McStuffins, Woody &amp; Jessie, Batman, Batgirl, etc.</p> <p>We're a very nerdy bunch 'round here. We have no issue whatsoever buying her the more princessy type shirts (though I try to stay away from the older princesses like Cinderella and the like). </p> <p>At this age I'd rather she watch Sofia the First, as she's a younger princess.. she doesn't need to watch shows or movies that focus so much on gender stereotypes and having a wedding be the main goal of a persons life. I like Sofia the First because she reinforces that girls can do anything and be anything. I'm also a BIG fan of Rapunzel and Anna and Elsa because of the fact that their movies are newer and more modern and they don't subscribe to the oooooold rules about princesses needing a man.</p> <p>RANT OVER. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511861 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 11:45:31 +0000 swurlygurl 1511861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In regards to clothing, I'm going to try to keep licensed characters to underwear, socks, pajamas only.</p> <p>Dress up clothes though, whatever you want!! I don't have any problem with my daughter liking princesses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511854 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 11:43:52 +0000 T-Mom 1511854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has had Cinderella, Snow White, and aurora costumes. That's what she picked for Halloween each year. I'm open to whatever costumes they request within reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511694 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 11:06:47 +0000 SAHM0811 1511694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've found that the superhero/princess stage starts at around age 3 and peaks around age 4! Perhaps it has to do with preschool and their peers? </p> <p>My 2.5 yo started early with the princess stuff though because of her older sister... Oh and perhaps our Disneyland annual pass has something to do with it too, haha. But I know it's a phase... My eldest is slowly phasing out interest (just turned 6 yo).</p> <p>They usually wear Disney shirts when we are at Disneyland, but not too much anywhere else. As for costumes, usually just at home sometimes, during playdates, and on Halloween. They don't dress like princesses at the grocery or anything! Sometimes my youngest wants to wear tutus and fairy wings on an average day in public, and I'm okay with it! She jumps around and says, "I'm a fairy" or "I can fly!". I see it as part of the imaginative play stage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511585 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:34:15 +0000 loveisstrange 1511585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C has one Batman shirt because her and her little BFF were Batman and Robin for Halloween last year. </p> <p>Other than that, not really. I would if she asked though. I have no problems with it. I think that wardrobe/costumes are a form of self-expression. I don't want to reinforce the "princess" mentality, but I also dont want her to feel like it's a bad thing if she legitimately likes princesses (which she already does. Oi.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511580 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:32:41 +0000 Mamaof2 1511580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: You totally should! My DS still wears his Iron Man costume from Halloween! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511576 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:32:32 +0000 StbHisMrs 1511576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried to avoid the princess stuff, but you can't control what's in other peoples homes. What I mean is she was all rough and tumble until she went to the baby-sitters, then it was all princess, tinkerbell, and movies :sad: It took a while for me to figure out where she learned to ask for all that, she's still a rough and tumble girl, but prefers to get dirty in her princess shoes ;)</p> <p>So we'll be looking for Disney princess dresses at garage sales this summer because as much as she loves them<br /> I'm not ready to bust out $48 a dress! I don't buy her character clothing though, contemplating some Minnie Mouse pj's but no actual clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511574 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:31:53 +0000 Andrea 1511574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy dress up clothes, but no character clothes. Just character undies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511571 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:30:50 +0000 looch 1511571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go with what my son's interests are, right now, they're not character related, but if it were, I'd have no problem getting him a costume that reflected it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511562 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:26:26 +0000 owlmom 1511562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (29 months) has a Spider-Man shirt because it's DH's favorite. She knows what superheroes are, and occasionally wants me to tie a blanket "cape" on her, but it's not a constant interest. No princess stuff yet, though she does know what a princess is. We're trying to avoid the "princess culture," but if she asks for princess stuff in the future, we'll get her some in moderation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511476 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:02:17 +0000 Smurfette 1511476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she asks then yes, for either one, but I won't encourage either. I don't like character stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511459 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 09:59:25 +0000 Mamaof2 1511459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they ask yes.</p> <p>DS started asking at age 4ish </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511450 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 09:57:00 +0000 purrpletulips 1511450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope to either. We make a point to not direct our LOs to any one character/character type. However BIL hasn't bought DD a gift that isn't princess since she was born; we don't make a big deal about the things being princess and so far no obsessions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511403 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 09:46:02 +0000 regberadaisy 1511403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Superhero yes, princess no. I really want to get her a dress up box but am still thinking about how to do that without princessy stuff. I'm leaning towards finding used halloween costumes. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511397 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 09:45:02 +0000 junebugmama 1511397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We purchased J1 a huge box of dress up clothes that included both. He actually wore the princess gear way more lol. He understood that they were for at home only (and occasional trips to g-ma's) so we didn't have to argue about him wearing them out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-your-lo-superheroprincess-clothes#post-1511392 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 09:43:27 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1511392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie is really into superheroes... pretty much all of them, but he likes Superman best right now. I think all boys just have a superhero gene. I have resisted buying him superhero clothes (he did receive a Superman shirt as a gift and he's obsessed with it) because it's easier not to have debates about what to wear when they just have plain clothes. ;)</p> <p>Olive has no idea what a princess is yet since she only plays with Charlie's toys, but she is super duper into her baby dolls lately. I don't plan on buying her any princess clothes, but maybe she will ask for them one day.</p> <p>Do you buy your LO superhero/princess clothes? Do they want to wear them constantly? </p>
