Once Upon A Child

There are so many plazas hosting a number of businesses on North Fairfield. When you see Men’s Warehouse, turn into that plaza! Plenty of parking to be found at this storefront. It shares its parking lot with Plato’s Closet, etc.
It was rainy and windy (apparently a tornado went through the Greene that afternoon, too) when LO, H and I went in. There were strollers, play sets, books and tables out front… all soaking wet. It wasn’t a great impression, but whatever. We needed to get what H and I couldn’t lug through the airport: a thing, anything, to keep my kid in and preoccupied.
The store was stocked with hundreds of items galore for the wee babes and pre-​teens. I also found the items priced somewhat reasonably. I went in for baby items sized 3 – 6 months and found that some used clothing was marked $ 3-​$ 7. I guess that’s not SO bad. (But when you catch Carter’s on a good sale, you can often buy sleep & plays and onesies for less than $ 9 and $ 3 respectively.)
More recently, I’ve had the privilege to sell a few of my daughter’s items. It was quick, easy and convenient to «be rid of» unnecessary items I deemed too girly (I kept gender neutral items in case my next child is a boy). I was in/​out within 45 minutes with $ 8 in hand for seven articles of clothing.
