I need a better place to store things...



My daughter started pulling things out of some of her drawers today. There are a couple of drawers in her dresser where I've kept things from when she was little(r) and there are some things that I probably could/should have thrown away, but for some reason, I just didn't. She came downstairs earlier holding a nipple shield (yea breastfeeding!) and the instruction booklet that came with it and wanted to know what it was. She was hoping to keep the shield as something to play with, but being the mean mommy that I am, I said no. Anything is a toy to her! With my luck she would have brought it to school to play with and I would have had some 'splaining to do.

In the same drawer was her first Halloween costume - she went as Pebbles Flintstone (see above pic). The fabric for her costume was really soft, and apparently really stretchy. She came down wearing the leopard print "top" and wanted help tying the shoulder ties. She couldn't figure out the black diaper cover, so she was wearing that around her neck. She wore that lovely outfit around for most of the afternoon and thought that she was just the height of fashion. That's my girl!

I should probably go through that drawer...

oh my gosh, what a super cute first costume- so original!!

When Brielle was five they had community heros day at the school instead of halloween. the kids could wear a communtiy worker "costume" . Brielle went as a police officer and proceeded to tell her whole class that now she had her own handcuffs like the ones in mommy's drawer?!??- yup, sometimes better storage spaces are needed. ;)
