I – very stupidly – got my first sunburn of the season this weekend. Sitting out at my son’s soccer game. My kids, of course, were slathered in sunscreen – by me – and were well-protected from the sun’s harmful rays. Amazing, isn’t it, how moms watch out for their kids’ health and safety and forget about their own? I know I’m not the only one…
In addition to sunscreen, you can buy anti-UV clothing for your kids. The clothes are specially treated to enhance their Ultraviolet Protection Factor. The clothing manufacture Petit Patapon has a really cute line that rates a 40 UPF – reducing the amount of the sun’s rays which reach your child’s skin by 40 times. These clothes block 97.5% of those bad-for-you UVA/UVB rays.
Petit Patapon has anti-UV t-shirts for babies, girls and boys. And they’re cute too!
And we have a special discount to offer to Sassy & George readers! Use promo code SASSY20 at the Petit Patapon checkout for a 20% discount through May 31, 2009! (and that’s a discount on any and all of Petit Patapon’s darling clothes – not just the anti-UV shirts)

Loved it! They really work. I just wish there were some Tees for me as well… Don’t they make them for mommies also?
