Full Closet, Full Heart
A full Gracie closet makes my heart fell good, and I sure could use some of that this weekend.
Not only does her closet being full and neat mean that the laundry is put away (and I cleaned it up!), but I love to see the long tightly packed row of colorful pretty girly dresses.
Hey, it's my thing.
I hate the end of seasons when I have to go through her closet and pull out things I know she will never get to wear again. This is one of the HARDEST parts of being a mom. It is like physical proof that this time is over and you aren't going to get it back.
So, how can I smile?
Well, Garren got the box down from the attic that had all of her spring/summer clothes in it. I am so proud of myself for shopping ahead. I love to find dresses, and as Gracie got older finding them in her size got more and more difficult--so, I started thinking smarter and I would buy a dress I loved even if it was too big. And, boy am I glad I did. Look at all of these colors and happiness we get to choose from!
