For some reason big ol' cherry appliques are really popular hipster design elements for girls' dresses and such, and after a certain point a switch just flipped in my head.
Interesting. M loves his monkeys, although I can guess why you have a no-monkey rule. I'm trying to hold to a no-camo rule, as well as a no princesses rule. M grabs any pink that shows up as his due. A's far more into dinosaurs.
G. doesn't want the girls' apparel to reinforce stereotypes about black people and monkeys, especially when they're too young to understand the connotations themselves.
Got it. That makes sense. I had a feeling that's where that one was going. I so often think of little kids as monkeys cuz of their propensity for clamor all over everything, but that makes total sense.
