Here is our 2nd St. Patrick's Day outfit. I absolutely adore this one.
I think to myself, if I keep buying these over the top adorable outfits, will I ever be able to let go of them? See recently I started pricing Owen's clothes for a consignment sale. However, I found myself attached to almost every outfit he has. "Oh he has a picture in this one!" "He wore this the day he went to daycare for the first time!" Etc. Etc. Etc.... I cried, I pondered, I reminisced.
Out of 92 outfits I could part with 80. And believe you me, it was torture. "But what if you have another baby?" Well, that won't be for a few years. Plus, Brandon, who tried to help me through this anxiety said, "If we do have another child ONE DAY, who is to say it will be a boy? Also, won't you want to go out and buy new outfits?" Yes, and that is that. Out with the old, in with the new.
I kept outfits that really meant something to us: His first Christmas outfit, the sweater he wore in our family photo shoot, the onesie we brought him home from the hospital in, and some others.
This might be a silly thing to be worked up over, but I look at my precious boy everyday and think about how he changes from the time I lay him down at night to picking him up the next morning. People always say, "Enjoy this time because it goes too fast." They are right. It feels like just yesterday I was excited about maternity clothes and now here I am letting go of Owen's 6-month outfits. Wow. I guess I need to go shopping for more to make myself feel better!
