So Many Baby Clothes . . .
I picked up son #2’s “going home outfit” the other day. When I got home I decided it was time to bust out all the baby clothes from son #1 and get them ready for use. I was seriously overwhelmed at the amount of stuff that we had packed away.
My first reaction was that there was no way we could have actually used all these infant clothes for one tiny kid. As my memory began to clear, however, I realized that when my son was an infant we went through several outfits a day - casualties of the poop/pee/barf wars that my son’s digestive process was waging with his wardrobe.
In my panic about all the stuff I rushed online and ordered some closet organizers and drawer dividers. Our goal for this baby is not to be ordering new furniture and “stuff” every few seconds but it was quickly apparent that there was no way all of the costume changes could coexist in our current organizational state.
I’m feeling slightly more in control although the thought of all that additional baby laundry is haunting me still. I can’t wait until summer when the wardrobe inevitably resorts to “diaper only” and the wash load drops precipitously.
