Orange We Cute Today?

The Beaver Bunch said...: Hey Bridg,

Okay, I have a question. You know I love you (Seriously, I do.) but I have an honest question.

Okay, a few posts ago you posted about Lime Ricki Swimwear and how modest it is (which, btw, I LOVE several of their suits). And today, you have your youngest two in bikinis (and they totally look precious).

But, here's my question. Are you okay w/ bikinis? If so now, when they are itty bitty, how about when they are 16 and...um...not so itty bitty in areas?

This is a convo Luke and I have had on several occasions. We have decided that for US, letting our girls wear clothing now that would be inappropriate at 16 (or 14 or whenever their bodies become more shapely) is not okay. The reason being that it is hard to say, "Well honey, you could wear that last year because you didn't have such big boobs. But this year, it's inappropriate." or "Yes sweetie, you could wear short shorts as a little girl, but at 16 it looks too sexy."

You see what I mean? Please don't think I'm judging you. I am certainly not. I just want your take on the whole clothing/modesty issue and how much is too much and where is the cut off. Is it w/ age or body shape and do you train them now or wait until their curves are there?

Love you girl. (Oh and you can email me if you'd prefer to answer me that way, and avoid publishing this comment.) beaverbunch (at) gmail (dot) com.; May 26, 2010 at 7:31 PM

Meet our family, we call ourselves the "Road Schooling Ryan's." We know how fast kids grow up and we want to make the most of these precious years with them. We gave up living in a traditional house to travel the US with them. We are making memories that we will remember for a lifetime. We are so excited to "roadschool" and know that we will all learn so much on this adventure. We are excited to see what God has planned for our family. We have been to 38 states and have helped out in organizations like, Save Our National Parks, Safe Haven Family Shelter, Sower Ministries, Habitat for Humanity, and Passport in time, which helps preserve history around the US and much more. We started our trip on Nov. 23rd 2009..... With 5 kids and a dog living in an RV traveling to many places...Let's just say, I could write a book but I'll blog for now. Enjoy!

We made it home safe after traveling to 38 states and over 20,000 miles in 1o months. We are enjoying this new season in life. Here's to a new adventure!
