The time has finally come to finally part with Miss L’s baby books. Much loved and chewed titles like ‘That’s not my Kitty’, adventures of the Tweenies and Angelina Ballerina were just sitting there taking up space and getting more dusty. It only feels like moments ago I was reading them to a baby in a cot and a toddler on my knee.
But their time has past and she is now onto Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. So tearfully I boxed them up last night (under Miss L’s supervision) into a pile for ‘her future babies’ to be put into the loft; and a pile for one of her little friends and her even littler sister so they can now enjoy them. I’m very proud of my girl for being so generous and choosing books, she especially thought her small friends would enjoy.
Even though I know it was time to put them away, I’ll miss them… it was like the final part of her babyhood being put away. And I found it much, much harder than I thought I would.

Oh that is sad, but I like that you have a future babies box! I’m going to have to start one of those because there are some things that I just won’t be able to part with
I can quite understand how you feel. Bless her -HMx
ah difficult time, when our little bubs are starting to grow up but fun to come I promise !
I have passed on not only the bedtime story books but also favourite nursery cushions, dolls, teddies, even china ornaments! new mums love them, whether they are your daughters or daughters in law and when the kiddiewinks get old enough and you give them something old & worn but loved ( hey vintage) that was their mum or dads their teeny faces bring memories flooding back! Be brave Liz

I am struggling to part with the baby clothes at the moment, not even thought about all the baby toys too!
