No Clothing Left Unworn

You know how when you have a baby (if you can't relate, just go with it), and you get all these wonderful baby clothes and accessories. And no matter how full the baby's closet is, you think it's not nearly enough. Then your baby arrives, and you realize a little too late that your baby really doesn't need ALL those clothes and accessories. And on top of it all, you have a husband like Ben who is destined to not let any baby item go unworn before packing it away in storage. Because if that did actually happen, he might have serious trouble sleeping at night.

So what do we do when Braedyn has clothes he's about to outgrow, but they're so cute you just have to dress him in them at least once. Well, that's when it's time to subject Braedyn to one of those tortorous photo shoots.

I bought this robe before Braedyn was born because it was just too darn cute to pass up. And what I found out after he was born, was that while it's a 10 on the Cuteness Scale, it's a 1 on the Practical Scale. Aside from the 5 minutes it takes to get his arms through the arm holes, I'm not quite sure why Braedyn would ever have the need for a robe of his own. Who knew...

These cute little duck booties were given to Braedyn as a gift. They are the most adorable thing ever, but he never really got a chance to wear them. Sadly enough, for the simple fact that I didn't go in his sock drawer very much the first couple months after he was born. Grammy Wormeck saw them in his drawer not too long ago, and wondered if he was ever going to wear these adorable booties. So Grammy Wormeck, this picture is for you!

And now, these two items can go into storage, and Ben can sleep peacefully. At least I now know how much I need and don't need when Baby #2 comes along. Well, unless Baby #2 is a girl, because if that's the case, surely she will need a cute, pink, frilly robe. Right?!
