Cheap but still cute in my opinion. I save the dressier/nicer outfits for weekends. I think she still looks cute at daycare but it's definitely the mix and match stuff I buy. And I never put her in jeans at daycare, I want her to be comfy so it's leggings/jeggings for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1885282 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 08:25:34 +0000 meredithNYC 1885282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I still send in her stuff I think is cute, but it's definitely more on the Old Navy/Carters/Target side than like, Baby Gap. I want her to have fun and be free to get dirty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1885279 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 08:24:57 +0000 artsyfartsy 1885279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T is only 7 months so he goes to daycare in comfy play clothes or a onesie. When he does to school he will wear nicer clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1885270 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 08:22:12 +0000 JennyG 1885270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only when he's about to outgrow it and I'm mad that he hasn't been able to wear something more. But now that he's 14 months, he's not going through sizes like before so I mostly save the good stuff for the weekends.</p> <p>@NovBaby1112: I agree 100% with the cute and comfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1885194 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 07:34:02 +0000 NovBaby1112 1885194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: ha, same. I only dress M in "nice clothes" for birthdays, holidays. She wears the same clothes at daycare and home, which consists of her staples of leggings/tshitts from target. Cute but comfy all the time is my motto. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1885142 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 06:10:16 +0000 blackbird 1885142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice clothes? What's that? Generally everything in E's closet is used. I don't understand nice clothes for messy toddlers except for a very special occasion, like a birthday, holiday or photos. I find it a waste of money. On weekends, we go to playgrounds and such, so nice clothes never make sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1885076 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 22:34:51 +0000 PrincessBaby 1885076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy LO a totally separate daycare wardrobe, usually consisting of the $4-$5 tops and bottoms at target. That way, if something is really stained, I don't feel bad about not fighting the oxiclean. I'll just chunk it. </p> <p>I even separate them in her closet so DH doesn't put her in nice clothes accidentally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1885071 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 22:29:23 +0000 lamariniere 1885071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not anymore. My kid has stains on his shirts every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1885050 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 21:57:21 +0000 ALV91711 1885050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I do. I like him to get wear out of his clothes. And honestly he gets dirtier on the weekends at home. We do a lot of playing outside and I let him feed himself. He always comes home clean from daycare, I really don't know how they do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1885025 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 21:20:40 +0000 avivoca 1885025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. She has tons of cute, comfortable clothes and At this age, they don't get super messy. The only outfit I was particular about was her Easter dress, which was handmade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1885012 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 20:57:56 +0000 pinkcupcake 1885012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I do... I realized that she wasn't getting to wear any of her cuter/nicer outfits b/c I was so anal about keeping them clean. I'd rather she wear them and possibly stain them, than have them just sit in the closet. I'm very good at removing most stains (Oxyclean is my BFF) and so far, nothing that expensive has gotten completely destroyed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1885009 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 20:52:51 +0000 78h2o 1885009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't buy separate clothes for daycare...almost all her clothes are nicer brands (Boden, Tea, etc.) purchased 2nd hand. I do reserve my very favorites for weekends or parties, but she wears nice clothes to daycare. I don't want them to just sit in her closet. My stain removal skills have really improved and I dont think anything has gotten ruined yet. I did have to get on her teachers about bibs and smocks (because I was getting a lot if practice removing stains), but lately she has been coming home pretty clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1884970 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 20:11:16 +0000 woodentulip 1884970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be particular, but now I buy their play clothes that they wear 99% of the time from a fancy kids line that is great quality and super cute and SO comfy for them, and their 'nicer' outfits are from Old Navy mostly. That way they get lots of wear from their play clothes, and I don't care if they only manage one or two wears from a fancy dress or sweater! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1884874 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 18:33:19 +0000 sslm 1884874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. They don't even use bibs at our daycare so she usually comes home a huge mess!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1884587 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 14:15:27 +0000 littlebug 1884587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generally, I send him in the same stuff I put him in on the weekends. We're not a "dress-up" family, so we're all mostly in t-shirts and jeans. My only requirement is that it'll be comfortable for nap time. So I rarely send him in jeans, but I LOVE the Carter's knit pants that look like jeans. I call them his pajama-jeans. I kind of want a pair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1884514 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 13:41:34 +0000 Boogs 1884514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't plan on it unless it's picture day. I would be too sad to have something nice ruined. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1884509 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 13:39:36 +0000 KayKay 1884509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO likes to pick her own clothes, and, for the most part &amp; within reason, I let her. I found that if I don't offer/let her wear certain things to certain activities, then they often don't get worn at all because she doesn't pick them for "acceptable" times either.</p> <p>And that is how she wore white pants to daycare on the one day that they spent all afternoon playing in the mud kitchen -- of course!</p> <p>In general though, I try to stick to cotton clothes and have gotten pretty good at stain removal. Every once and again we'll have to get rid of something I really liked &amp; thought was adorable, but I'd rather have that issue than have a bunch of cute stuff she never/hardly wears. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1884504 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 13:37:21 +0000 rachiecakes 1884504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no way! J's only been there a week and a half and his outfits have come home ruined. We don't have laundry at home. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1884477 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 13:17:21 +0000 daniellemybelle 1884477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NeekieRose: Exactly. They outgrow clothes so fast &amp; I feel like when I have "saved" a cute outfit she ends up wearing it just once! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1884418 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 12:56:49 +0000 NeekieRose 1884418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. DD is only 11 months though so she isn't really doing any of her own art/craft projects yet. She has too much cute clothes to leave it for the weekends! She'd only get to wear her outfits like once then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1884309 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 12:04:20 +0000 yellowbird 1884309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1884306 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 12:03:06 +0000 sunny 1884306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Everything comes home from daycare super dirty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1884301 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 12:01:55 +0000 daniellemybelle 1884301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I put her in her cutest (though still comfortable) outfits for school. I want them to get worn &amp; I like that all her teachers fuss over her when she gets there. (They probably would anyway but I like the compliments on her outfits.) They don't do a lot of arts &amp; crafts at this age &amp; she actually seems to get less food on her clothes there than she does at home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1884218 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 11:31:57 +0000 skibobrown 1884218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I figure what's the point of having those clothes if DD rarely wears them. We've ruined a few nice clothes this way, but mostly the stains come out after a couple of times through the wash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1884156 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 11:00:27 +0000 HLK208 1884156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For school, yes. Preschool, not so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1884155 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 10:59:39 +0000 Honeydew 1884155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH usually dresses our DS in the mornings. He loves to put our LO in his nice clothes and when I pick LO up he's a mess. I've repeatedly explained to my DH we need to reserve the nice stuff for the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1884149 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 10:56:16 +0000 Smurfette 1884149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have certain outfits that are just for weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-your-kids-to-daycareschool-in-their-nicer-outfits#post-1884134 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 10:51:30 +0000 tinyperson 1884134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of the time, no.
