Day 5: box of baby boy clothes, 6-12 mos., Towson

This was the toughest to part with so far. Not that it's anything we need; Cole has been out of these clothes for months, plus they're cold weather things. Don't need those teeny tiny, oh so adorable fleece footie dinosaur pjs in July, do we? But it wrings my heart to remember him wearing these clothes, remember how he'd just lay there small and inept and kind of bemused, looking around, taking it all in. That was at four months. Now he's kind of an old guy, 11 months old and clearly on top of things. He has definite opinions and a master plan. How did he get so big so fast?

So far this offering has been the biggest Freecycle hit -- 14 requests and counting. Happily I am able to give them to Melissa H.-M., someone who a few months back very generously responded to a Freecycle wanted I posted and gave us a terrific baby swing set. It's so serendipitous, to be able to pay back karmic debt while clearing out some crap! Not that these clothes are crap. My my no, especially not those super cute little stripey overalls...sniff....
