I save clothes. Actually, I have a hard time parting with all baby items. Especially, cute little dresses:)

Beautiful. Your descriptions are so vivid they immerse me in your world for a moment instead of mine.

Awww, this was beautiful.

I still think of KayTar as a baby, as my little one, though she is wearing size 5′s now and goes to an elementary school, and has lost two teeth that are already, as she says, “regenerating”. Babies don’t say “regenerating”. Sigh.

When my son was little, I picked my favourite outfit and framed it in a shadow box frame along with a picture of him in it. Now that he is a big kid in grade 3, he marvels when he walks by the picture at how small it was. It kept me from trying to save every one of his little outfits

Your writing is so beautiful. Keep these for Posey, for some day in the far future. You probably already do.

Just heartbreakingly, absolutely beautiful.

Each word a perfect truth; as true as the dresses I put away yesterday.

You could save one or two for Posey. To show her and dress her future dolls in. To share the sweet memories of this summer of dresses with her.

How swiftly those baby days breeze by. Lovely lovely post.

*Sigh*

Embrace the joy of dressing her as it pleases you because, if she is like my girls, she will swiftly and surely have opinions and what you like no longer matters. It started this summer with E. A three-year-old.

*Heavy, heavy sigh*

(That first sigh was for the compelling beauty of your writing. The second one was because I’m all melancholy.)

So beautiful. I, too, had fragile, embroidered dresses. One, in particular was first mine, then my daughter’s and then, finally, my granddaughters. If we had a fire here (let Heaven forbid!) I would save those photographs no matter what.
The description of her diapered bottom is pure gold.
Thank you so much for this; it has lightened my day and my heart.

PS What about jumpers and tights? Easy as punch to sew the jumpers. I used pinwale corduroy because it holds its shape and is easy to wash.

oh, Bon. This is so incredibly beautiful and moving. I loved reading this, loved thinking of those knee dimples and too-short frilly dresses, of your melting mascara and your joy.
Much love, sweet. xo
