<p>I wouldn't buy a stitch of anything until my child is accepted. This is the same child for whom I did not buy a single item of new nursery furniture or clothing until he was born healthy. Call my superstitious...</p>
<p>I also find the idea of posting "trophies" of college acceptance slightly revolting, but maybe that is just me. Remember, for every kid accepted at Harvard, 10 were not.. I think it is one thing to be thrilled for your child, another entirely to rub it in others' faces. But then, I don't live in the US and maybe once you have gotten used to life sized football player cutouts on your lawn, college sweatshirts on doors are just the next obvious step. </p>
<p>The hardest part of waiting...staying away from CC...which I had done for a few days but now am back..for an hour only!</p>
