At the bottom of my son's wardrobe lives a little box. Inside that box is an ever growing collection of clothes. Not all his clothes are created equal you see. Some hold a special meaning that I can't bare to part with them. So rather than passing them on to a new home, they live in the bottom of his wardrobe. Ready to be pulled out to reminiscence over at any given moment. At the top, the little blue bonnet/hat, this is the hat that he was wearing when we took our first ever family photo. Him, the dog and myself all outside on a hot summers day. The hat next to it was the Santa hat he wore for our first Christmas card. (It was actually an ornamental hat ;) ).
Either side below those are two bibs. Cross Stitched for him by his Aunty. In between those are the 'puppy' booties that she brought home from work for him. He wore those constantly.
On the left hand side is his favourite pair of overalls. These particular ones don't stay done up, no matter how hard you try, the crotch always, always comes undone! On top of that is my first ever Ebay purchase, when he was still growing inside. It's a Pooh Bear jumpsuit... it no longer does up but I love it all the same... He was wearing it the day he was kicked out of day care (again...). And at the very front of those is a little t-shirt and shorts set, sent all the way from America to us from our friends. I remember getting it in the mail and how surprised I was. I put it on him as soon as I could as he was almost growing out of it when he was born! lol, the joy that is a big baby!
In the middle are just a small selection of jumpers, shirts, body suits. The one on the bottom of the pile was given to us from my boss and his wife when they were passing down clothes. It says "mutha sucker" I loved it! I would constantly put it on DS for when he went to his father... he never commented though...
At the top of this pile are two shirts, one red, one navy. These in particular hold an even more special place in my heart. These two shirts were worn alternately underneath a pavlik harness for six weeks. I didn't actually keep the harness as I returned it to the hospital so that someone else might be able to use it as their second harness. That way you can have one new harness and a second, one on and one in the wash. :D
Lastly on the right hand side are two hand knitted jumpers and a bonnet. All knitted by myself. The green jumper and hat was never actually worn by DS but rather his cousin. Who in turn returned it to us so that we might be able to use it, unfortunately DS was born far to big for it to be used, but it will forever hold a special place in my heart...
