Baby steps

I cleaned off the changing table and moved it into the garage.

I moved her baby blankets into a closet out of view.

I touched baby headbands and baby bows and reminisced about the times they were worn.

I stroked the fabric and smelled the sweetness of outgrown little girl clothes, breathing in the moments that are no more.

I fought back tears.

Watching my children grow is painful and wonderful...and painful.
