. selling off the stuff

someone came over today to pick up some items that she purchased off of me for her own little one.  in some ways i find it so hard to let go of the girls 'stuff' and in other ways … i love the idea of moving on to bigger and better things.  

don't get me wrong, i kind of love sitting there and remembering when the wore the onesie or slept in the swing or whatever, but i also can't help but imagine all the great things that are to come.  their first bike and their first soccer jersey, their favourite doll and the blanket they love to cuddle up with on the couch.  i know it'll all be hard, but i kind of can't wait for what's next.  

i try my hardest to live in the moment - but that's so hard.  not only does that mean you can't look to the future (and all that it holds) but that you shouldn't be looking to the past either.  

either way … i'm happy that new babies will get to create memories with the swings, and jammies and toys that my girls did.  i think that's kind of a neat thing to be able to spread memories around …
