Old Clothes

I often listen to KPDQ in the mornings and a few weeks ago I was listening to a few older women talk on the topic of being empty nesters.  These women were giving specific encouragement and instruction to other empty nest moms on how to get involved in their community, church, young moms etc.  The speakers both expressed feelings of depression, loneliness, and anxiety.  As inspirational as it was, I found myself driving down I-205, you guessed it.....crying :-)  One of the speakers said, "These babies are so entirely dependent on you for so many years.  They need everything from you.  And along the way you realize that you are dependent on them.  So when they leave and don't need you on a daily basis, it is very hard to find your place."

So back to my weekend, the above photo is all the clothes that baby Cooper has grown out of. He is 2 months old today.  As hard as it is to potty train, kick a bad attitude and get them to sleep through the night, this one sneaks up on you.  And it is hard.  God teach me to let go in a healthy way and not be in a complete panic :-)  And as I type my baby is fast asleep in his 3-6 month old pjs.
