My little boy loves clothes that bend and move when he does. He eschews blue jeans because they restrict his movements. The garments in this pattern were designed with him (and all children who like soft clothes) in mind. The little girl on the cover loved wearing the outfit. She ran around, pretending she was a fantastic zebra, jumping and climbing, She didn't want to take these pants and Ts off. . . I think that qualifies as the child's seal of approval. I hope the little girls in your life love these pants & Ts as much as the little girls (and boy) in my life do.
