As we have been getting ready to move, we have been reorganizing, selling, donating, and throwing away all kinds of clutter that we just dont need anymore.
I have even gone as far as to give away my baby swing and jumperoo, and have gotten rid of all of the old baby clothes. Well, most of the baby clothes. Why cant I part with Jacob's teddy bear pram? Or his coming home outfit? Are we ever going to use them again? And even if we did, couldnt we just pick up something new? I just cant let go of having a newborn baby in the house. I just cant move on yet from Jacob being my baby. And surely then he still needs his baby things right?!
I realized last night that I have been un-pregnant for longer now than I have been in 5 years! I was getting to be a professional preggo... haha
Its fun though seeing them move away from being babies and become more independent. I got to go to preschool with Joey today and had the most fun I've had in a long time! Since I was the parent helper today, Joey got to be the class VIP, which I think humbled him a little. It was so cute... We made letter Bb's out of buttons glued to paper, had fun playing with Halloween shaddows, and even got to play with the parachute outside. The best part though was spending the morning with Joey. Just Joey (and a dozen or so other preschoolers...)
I remember when it was almost time for Ava to be born and I just wasnt ready yet. I needed more time to just be "Joey's mommy" and its seems like no time at all has passed and I am JoeyAvaJacob's mommy... and I still need more time. Time is ticking away waaaayyy too fast, the kids are growing and changing waaaayyy too fast, and I'm just not ready. I just cant let go of everything baby yet. So the pram will stay hanging in the closet. And outfits too small to ever be worn again will be packed away to be seen again... but the baby swing? I'd look a little silly in that dont you think?
