Journaling: I get a little sentimental at the end of each season when it comes time to pack up the clothes and replace them with outfits more suitable for the changing weather. As I fold the little outfits, I can’t help but smile as I reflect on how Kimberly and Jocelyn have grown in just the last few months.
The hardest of course is packing away the newborn clothes. The outfits are so small, it’s like they were made for a little doll, not an actual baby. It’s such a tangible sign that time is passing quickly…maybe a little too quickly. This Sept, I had a hard time packing away Jocelyn’s summer things. It wasn’t quite as difficult packing away the sundresses when Kimberly was that age, but in my mind I wasn’t packing them away forever. I held on to the hope that I would have another daughter and I could see those cute dresses worn again. This time, I know that I am not going to see another one of my babies in these little outfits. Instead of getting too sentimental, I should look on the brighter side of things. Instead of the end of a season, I should look at it as the beginning of the next one with lots of good times to come. Plus packing away the summer things means shopping for new fall clothes and everyone knows I like to shop!
