As Reesi's fourth birthday is nearing I realize that our family is reaching a turning point. I have been holding onto Reesi's baby clothes like a rope in a tug of war battle. As I watch so many of my friends popping up pregnant and regretfully know that the timing is not right for our family to add another yet, I have conceded to being a first time consignor. It takes strength and faith to send away baby clothes even though I am ready to be pulling them out for the next child. While I am trying to be strong, I still have my weaknesses: smocked dresses, Gymboree, and rompers. Those are the many items that I have not entered into the consignment sale. I just can't part. Who knows, maybe Reesi will want vintage clothes for her children one day.

Oh my goodness. That must be hard. Don't get rid of her clothes yet! And once you're REALLY ready, save the special ones. My mom saved a box for my future kid, and I'm so glad!
It is hard to get rid of their clothes for so many reasons. I always remember something that happened while they were wearing them and just can't part with them!
Do it now while you have time. I would actually like to consign some stuff this year, but I can't seem to part with my precious free time; I would much rather lie in bed and watch TV than tag items.
It is hard to part with most of it, so don't get rid of everything; safe some just incase you have another girl someday.
