it was discovered that our crawlspace had apparently flooded when we had all that rain a couple of weeks ago. it was definitely a stroke of luck that someone went down there - usually we avoid going under the house b/c it's a dark scary place. so i had to go down and rescue all of kaiya's old clothes that were put into cardboard boxes instead of plastic bins. while i was taking care of that i decided to organize all of kaiya's clothes by size. i didn't think it would be such an emotional walk down memory lane but it was! i always think of kaiya as being this tiny little thing - she is... but it's just amazing to see the little preemie clothes that she wore for the first couple months of her life! and to see the little outfit that she wore for her one year picture, and realize it was sized 3 - 6 months... it was nice to be able to make the comparison between her teeny weeny preemie outfits and the little girls smalls that she's wearing now! i always think of her as the perpetual baby, but she is getting to be a kid now.
and then we go on to the fact that i have 14 plastic bins filled with clothes and shoes from the past 6 years of kaiya's life...

Every piece of old clothing is a testament to your achievement in helping her grow.
