what’s inside box #17

Box #17 (or was it #27??  or #189??) contained baby clothes and blankets.  A couple of them brought back wonderful memories.  But the rest were a mystery.  Why on earth had I carted this box around for 30+ years?

But worse…a tangled piece of cotton and lycra and snaps (snaps??) turned out to be my maternity bra.  I had saved my nursing bra!!!

You don’t have to tell me how weird that is.  It is also weird that I am telling you about it.

Just so you know, when I say I’m “cleaning out stuff”, I mean even 33-year old undergarments!!!!

Don’t worry.  I did not stop cleaning to take a photo.  But I’m sure I was wearing it when this picture was taken.  Overalls were very fashionable that decade.

    Funny!!! Hormones made me incapable of parting with so many of Dylan’s things. I too found some questionable items in his “baby box”. I actually kept the clip from his belly button and can’t bring myself to get rid of it. I was able to decide that cake toppers from his first 5 birthdays were probably not ever going to be of interest to him. Now I am collecting “for Baby Benjamin”. I am sure he will be thrilled with what I kept for him to cringe at.
