Along the lines of clothes, I stripped his dresser of all his onesies...won't be able to use those any more! Oh, by the way, could anyone use some brand new short sleeve 24 month size onesies (some T-shirt, some polo style), I just found a slew of them he won't be able to wear this Spring. More on that later.

more than just clothes
Spring is approaching, and my baby is growing...right out of all his clothes! I loved his fall/winter wardrobe, and am having a harder time than I expected letting it go. To me, these are more than just clothes. Almost all of these clothes were given to us as shower gifts, and I hate to see them go. These are the clothes that I looked at day after day, folded and refolded until they were just right, passing those long 4 1/2 months waiting to meet our sweet boy. I tried to imagine what he would look like in them, what we would do together in them and what parenthood would be like in general. Before he came home, it was hard to believe that my son would really be wearing them. Our journey was a long and bumpy one and it was hard to fathom that we would be parents until he was in our arms. That was not even a year and a half ago, and here we are "on the other side", outgrowing some of the first gifts we were given for him. Go ahead, call me a sentimental sap... that's just what I am.

Sentimental is right..but I TOTALLY feel your pain! (You will know if you check my blog entry from Monday!) All that waiting, and then BAM- time sure does fly! Feel like shipping some 24 month clothes to WV?? :)

PS: I started RUN...it's wonderful!
I have the same problem with the clothes. They are such a physical reminder that our babies are growing up! I don't know if you do overalls, but those don't work so well with potty training, either :).
