Was folding laundry and I came across this baby shirt that I gave to Chelsea for her dolls, and I just looked at it for a few seconds, and thought how tiny it was. It's a size 0-3mos infant shirt, and so there are a few more sizes smaller than that! It just made me realize how fast my babies have truly grown up. This shirt, well I had 2, they were Keagan & Kyle's shirt, and then Kameron's. After Kam out grew clothes, I passed them down to a very good friend, and she used them on all 3 of her boys. Then when I was pregnant with Kwintyn, she gave me some clothes, and to my surprise there was a few outfits that were my boys'!! I saved a few things & gave some clothes to Chelsea for her dolls, this shirt was one thing she kept. But I think I just wanted to keep it just because of the memories it gave me. haha It's a simple blue shirt with zoo animals on it, and I did feel bad that I didn't keep much of the boys' baby clothes, so that was part reasoning, and well her dolls needed to be dressed! ;) I then packed up some clothes and sent them to my brother for his kids. So some of those outfits got around! And the nice part was, they were all still in nice shape, and still stylish to this era. I have a whole bin on 4T & 5T clothes for Kwin when he grows in to that size, and I have about 7 big garbage bag filled with sizes 4/5, & 6/7's. When he gets to those sizes he will be set on clothes for a while. They are all either jeans, or dressy style clothes, and khaki's. And last time I looked, they still were in style. Guess that's the perks of hand me downs.
I just hate going through all the stuff that doesn't fit the kids anymore. It makes me so sad. I had so many favorite outfits for the boys & Chelsea, and I didn't want to part with any of it, but I didn't want to become a hoarder either. Our basement was looking pretty bad a few years ago, with all the bins & stuff. haha But now I try to get rid of it to people who could use it. Also I like seeing these kids in these clothes, it puts a smile on face seeing that favorite outfit being worn again. :) I had this thing for baby & toddler clothes. Ok, I still have this thing. hahaha I will see the cutest baby outfit, and want to buy it!! They just make the cutest little clothes, and I am a sucker for them I guess. No wonder the kids had/have so much clothes, and I have so much laundry. ;P
Little baby clothes
