Outgrown Clothes

I remember when I was a little girl, spending an entire day (ok, MAYBE it wasn't an entire day, but it sure felt like it) trying on all the clothes in my closet (ok, MAYBE not all of the clothes in my closet, but it sure felt like it) to determine which ones I had outgrown. I HATED that chore??? I mean, seriously, HATED it. Why, I don't know. Probably because I was a child and wanted to be playing, not trying on a million clothes in a row. (love you Mom!)

Fast forward many years.....the thought of making my two year old try on clothes all afternoon makes me want to pull my hair out. I break out in a sweat just getting him dressed in the morning. (I actually tried it one afternoon with William. He was tired and complaining after about two shirts.) So, I was determined to find another solution.

One of the drawers in each of my boys' closets is labeled "outgrown". As I come across clothes that the kids have outgrown, I throw them in this drawer. This way, the chore is done a little along the way. When the drawer gets full, I transfer the clothes to the attic.

Now, try that on for size :)
