Clothing and Sizes

My son is growing fast...or should I say his feet are! The last shoes I bought for him back in Ph was a 36 and about 230 when we got here last year. Then came around springtime and he was a 235. I was quite ecstatic for a while that we can actually share sneakers for a couple of months. Came winter time and we had to get some winter footwear, he ended up with a 245 when we ordered 235. It was a bit big but it turned out perfect by the end of January and good for this year's winter it seems.

The same thing goes with the clothes. I got him 130 winter jacket before we moved around early 2014 and bought _ _ _ for his spring/summer clothes. I supposed that he can still wear these until this year. The underclothes I got for him for the winter were 150, the biggest available that I found in Uniqlo. Hopefully, this will last for at least two winters since it's stretchable and worn under anyway.

Now, I'm thinking of getting him some winter clothes and shoes for next year with the off-season sale just around the corner. The problem is the sizing thing.The most size that I can get under kids' is 160 and 260. Most sizes available are up to 150 and 240. I have yet to figure out what size should I get for him to fit for next year's winter. That is a very tricky thing to do with his growth rate that I cannot pretty much still predict.

So let me just run by it. Would it be safe to get a 260 for his shoes? How about the clothes, would a 160 fit him for next winter? Now, come to think of, it might just as I remember a 140 Prospecs which turned out to be bigger. So I think, 160 won't be bad for the clothes. Alright, now I got to keep an eye for these sizes when they go on sale somewhere or when I hit the thrift shop after classes one of these days. Now, if I can just figure out when to do any of these shopping coz I have yet to pack for another move soon. I just hope that move can get going soon.

So back to packing now!
