I Bought My Kid a Suit Yesterday

<p>Don’t buy a Bar Mitzvah suit too many weeks in advance, though, even if you plan everything else way in advance of the event!</p>

<p>They’re 13 and some of them outgrow the suit bought 6 weeks earlier! Suddenly those sleeves are hitting closer to the elbow than at the wrist! </p>

<p>Voices changing, too… oh my. What an age.</p>

<p>We did as you suggested. His growth spurt started a few weeks after the Bar Mitzvah and he’s close to a foot taller. [Above I said he was 5’4" but I think it was more like 5’3" and now he’s between 6’2" and 6’3"]. His Bar Mitzvah suit has been given to either a cousin or a family friend.</p>
