Adelia is starting to transition to the idea that she is getting a baby brother. We keep talking about Baby Cal, and how she'll get to hold him, and how she'll get to choose clothes for him to wear. We talk about how she and Ruby will get to share a bedroom, because Ollie will move into the room with Cal, and how then it will be an awesome 'girls only' room. She's brainstorming all sorts of possible ways to decorate. So I'm thinking it's going to be ok.
The young men in our ward are doing a yard sale fundraiser to help pay for some of their scouting trips. I figured it was as good of a time as any to go through all the baby girl clothes and get rid of everything Ruby has outgrown. Half my garage is full of clothes in all sizes for both genders, and it's time for something to give. I can't go on storing it all forever. If I ever need little girls clothes again they are easy enough to come by, and someone else might at well get use out of these while they are still in style.
I thought I would be so thrilled to be creating more space in our garage. And I am. But it was also pretty hard to give away all my baby girl clothes. I wasn't expecting that part. So many memories came back to me of my two cute girls wearing this outfit or that one, and the different stages of their lives that I'll never get back. I got a bit sentimental over it, actually. But, I filled two huge cardboard boxes anyway, and set them out on the porch for the scouts to come pick up. :(
