Have over 30 childrens items listed and category shows 1???

[frontporchdreaming]

No clue what I did wrong? With over 30 childrens items listed I finally figured out how to view my store like a buyer would and when I click on the childrens & infants category 1 item shows up? I know I picked the right category when I listed (ex. Girls 7 & up or Infants & Toddlers or Girls 2 to 6X)/ I think it has something to do with setting up sub categories (?) which I seem unable to do right. When I click on a category to make subs, it just changes the root category? Never makes the subs (I think, I am sooooooo confused at this point)
