Anyone who has a boy knows that finding interesting (can't really say cute) boys clothes is really hard.  Girl clothes?  No problem.  Boys clothes are either boring and inexpensive or interesting and expensive.  A friend of mine suggested I check out Lil Branches.  She swore they had some nice boy clothes that were not too expensive. 

If you haven’t been in to Lil Branches yet (at the Belk plaza next to the Chinese restaurant), now is a good time to check it out.  They are having a sale.  (click on the Lil Branches Link from the home page).  I went in there a few weeks ago to check it out.  I assumed it would be like all the small, children’s clothing stores and have 99% girl stuff and a few expensive boys things.  I was wrong!  It does have more girl then boy stuff, but there is a very good selection of boys clothes.  AND they are not overly expensive.  Yes, they are more expensive then wal-mart – but not by much!  And they have some nice things that are different then what you would find at wal-mart. 

Another problem I have in this area is that stores never seem to have much, if anything, in Ryan's size.  And the specialty type stores seem to only have smaller sizes.  Not so here!  I don't know what size they go up to, but they definitely had Ryan's current size (7/8) and some things even bigger than that!  I didn't buy anything at the time because my son is in the middle of a growth spurt.  but I do plan to check out the sale! They also have some different things if you are looking for a baby gift.
