Apparently,
little Coco, daughter
of Courteney Cox,
is wearing a pair
of these clever pants
designed with removable
neoprene kneepads
to make life a little
better for crawling
babies.
Cox's husband
David Arquette
appeared on the Late Show
With David
Letterman and
mentioned the baby
was suffering from
red, sore knees
from crawling around
on the hardwood
floors of the couple's
Malibu home. The
couple were carrying
her everywhere
as a solution.
Mississauga mom
Tammany Atkinson,
the entrepreneur
behind Bee's
Knees, heard about
the Arquettes' dilemna,
and promptly
sent a bubblegum
pink pair of
her stylish yet practical
pants to the family.
Soon,
she received a
thank you note, handwritten
by Cox, and
the note appears,
with Cox's permission,
on the Bee's
Knees website.
The inventive pants, available
in many different
fabrics and
colours, were an
obvious item for the
co-owners of
Imagine Baby, a new shopping
site aimed
at discerning moms
and focusing on Canadian-made
products.
