The Clothes Giveaway

We saved every shirt, short, onesie, pant, sweater, jacket, shoes even first time underwear that Jack owned when he was little.
We were ecstatic when we found out Charlie was a boy, now we don't ever have to buy clothes for the second kid. EVER!! Any new clothes that we buy is just for Jack . For Charlie, it is hand me downs from now on. It was great for me because I got to re-live all the cute little onesies for Charlie. My favorite was this blue onesie from Carters. It had a simple "Woof" on it with a picture of a dog. Another favorite one was a light blue onesie that just had little designs of dogs, doghouses, bones and paw prints all over. I loved that onesie and I loved seeing my boys wear them. I love the Carters brand too. Any design they place on t-shirts or onesies just makes you want to buy 100 of them, just so when your kids wear them, people can go, OH how adorable!!! Then they would ohh and ahh over your kid and you would think to yourself " They are in love because 1. my kids are beautiful and 2. the clothes they wear are adorable. Thanks Carters!

My little Charlie is growing up so fast now. He is quickly outgrowing the old baby clothes and my heart tears just a bit when there is a certain item of clothing that I have to put away because now Charlie doesn't fit into it. A friend of mine had a boy recently and although I am super happy to give the boy's clothes over to her, it also makes me a bit sad that giving away those clothes means a little bit of their baby life is soon ending. No more little doggie onsies. Charlie is now getting into the 2T phase!!! Which means that he will soon start wearing the tshirts that Jack wore of Buzz and Woody and Thomas the Tank Engine. Where did that time go of my little baby wearing sweet PJ's with little duck faces or rattles? Silly isn't it? Getting sentimental over a tshirt or pants? Maybe it's not the tshirt per se, but really the memory of being the new mom and holding your little son for hours without doing much. Those days were nice.
I am reminded every day of how Charlie is a big kid, especially with the 10 teeth that are coming in right now. He also lets us know that he is a big kid by climbing up the sofa, somewhat attempting to jump off the sofa because he sees his big brother do it and drinking from a cup as the adults do. I can't complain too much, because for every moment that I wish I can relive from their infanthood, I now have moments where both of my kids say " Mama" ever so sweetly.
