I decided that it was time to go through the boys’ clothes.

I packed away winter stuff and clothing items that were getting too small. I moved some of Sam’s too small stuff into Max’s closet and put some other stuff away in storage. I went through Max’s clothes and packed away everything that he’s outgrown. It’s amazing that he’s only 9 months old and most of his 12 month stuff is fitting quite snug. I took an inventory of what summer items were needed: Sam needs nice summer shirts for church and muscle shirts for those hot summer play days, he could use some more shorts, too, as I’m anticipating that he will outgrow some of the smaller pairs by mid-summer. Sorry, Max, but you don’t really need anything, thanks to having an older brother!

I’m thinking of trying to get a yard sale together this summer. We’re collecting quite a bit of “extras” that we just need to get rid of, so we can finally get organized. We will no longer be needing our infant carrier, swing, bouncy seat, baby clothes, maternity clothes. You get the picture. The project of getting things together is the part I’m dreading. I hate going through things and, even though I hate clutter, I also hate organizing. Just another one of those weird aspects of my life.

On a side note, Max is starting to pull-up all by himself! Yeah, Max! Visit my other blog at www.mommomsharmony.blogspot.com for a full story and pictures.
