Letting Go is So Hard

Since we are moving next week and we have most certainly decided that we are done having babies it was time to face the inevitable. Tonight I sorted through all of those boxes of baby clothes that I have been dragging around with me. Out of seven boxes I managed to choose a few pieces of keepsake items for each child, but not without getting choked up. All those teeny tiny jammies and socks! I will never have a little baby again. (sniff)

I'm hanging onto the sling though. Maybe I'll do this with it.

And speaking of slings, I liked Hathor's comic from today.

That was a fast visit to Texas, wasn't it? Good luck with the baby items -- that's always so emotional. I still have Hurricanehead's sling even though he hasn't used it in months. Since he's my last little one, I'd been wondering what to do with it. The pillow is a great idea.

Lovely idea about the sling. Our sling is the one baby item that I've held on to all these years.

Alanna is permanently stuck to me in her sling we we step foot outside of the house. I will be sad when she does not want to be like that anymore. I too, will be sad to leave some of the little clothes behind, but really happy to get my body back and move on to the stage where we can go on fun outings like you do. This newborn/toddler time where you are chained to nap schedules stinks in some ways. Though I'l be the first to admit that I do not want my snuggly little princess to grow up. Are moms ever ready?

I went through that a couple of years ago. I would have a million babies if they didn't turn into toddlers so quickly and it is so hard to part with the stuff. We're moving this week too but just across town. Still seems daunting. Good luck on the move and getting settled in
