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.
I would like to see your daughter-in-law’s face when you present her with her husband’s precious BELLY BUTTON CLIP!!!!!! LOL!!!! You are too funny. What else is in that “baby box”???!!!!
