Summer Clothing Tips for Toddlers to Beat the Heat!

As the summer has started to set in, dressing Aryaa up has become tricky business, because she as most kids just can't bear the heat! 40 degrees in March itself is a terrible thing to face, and when I can't bear it being an adult, imagine how much worse our little ones must be feeling. This year with summer setting in early, we need to start prepping up in advance too. When it comes to dressing up our toddlers, here are a few simple tips that you can keep in mind to help them beat the soaring mercury!

The Golden Years!

Aryaa turned 2 last month (yes that post is coming up soon too!) and time seems to be just flying. Every moment since her birth has been full of love, warmth and joy and these definitely are the golden years of her and my life as once the every day routine of life starts for her, it will never be the same. The unending hours of togetherness, the long tucked into bed hours, the uninhibited dancing to Bollywood songs together, and the innocent cute face making me give into every demand not knowing what is right and wrong, will all be replaced by school, a kid who has more understanding of the world around her, and years and maturity adding to the age. I am sure that will be fun too but somehow my heart refuses to let her grow up so fast! For now I am going to enjoy these 'Golden Years'!

My Chic Toddler!

Aryaa has been the best thing that ever happened to me. I couldn't have asked for more - Love, cuteness, sweetness, peacefulness and a lot more - she has been a real bundle of joy! In other words, God knew exactly what I needed when he gave me Aryaa. Her growing up is so much fun and she no more is a baby but a little girl. We think very similarly in a lot of ways but our unanimous fashion choices are what makes me really happy! What I pick she loves and what she chooses I love, and that brings us even closer ;-)

As a fashion blogger, shoots are a frequent part of my life. Posing for the shutterbugs is one of my most comfortable activities on a constant basis. Taking Aryaa along on shoots has also become a regular thing and having her around makes it even more fun for me. But what I never ever had expected this early was Aryaa's observation skills to be so perfect that she would start to pose comfortably for the camera :) A few months ago, we'd gone on a holiday and one of the mornings, I decided to do a photo shoot with her after a dip in the pool. I pulled the camera out and had barely focused it on her, that I saw her giving me a smile, then a side pose, then an on the stomach pose and it went on and on and on! Check this out - this is madam's swimsuit shoot! How perfect are her poses! I loved the outcome. Well, I definitely see a junior fashion blogger in the making :)

My love for clothes and all that makes me look good is a world renowned story ;-) but when Aryaa was born, it was yet to be seen how much she would take after me. She started showing her comfort in complex outfits right from the beginning. I would say complex because it would mean frilly dresses or Indian clothes, shoes, socks, headbands and at times jackets. Neither did she cry or react while being made to wear everything nor while she had to keep them on for hours. That was when it was clear that she was totally like me in respect to dressing up :) See for yourself :)

 

I enjoy dressing Aryaa up, and shopping for her as well as putting together combinations and looks for her is something I totally love. If she is going to continue showing me the signs that she already is, this mother-daughter duo is going to have a great time together sharing their love for similar things.
