Not yet!

I know, I know....2 posts in one day? Unheard of. But I have to just post my thoughts about my trip to Target today. I almost lost it. Right there in the clothing department. The baby section.

Why you may ask did the baby section bring me to 'near' tears? Because I say....Owen can't wear clothes from there anymore. :( I was trying to find a pair of cute PJs for Christmas morning and realized that all the 'baby' ones, the cute ones, the ones he should be wearing at this age, were all too small. I should have seen this day coming....from the moment he was born probably....he's no petite. But I just wasn't ready for it today. Good grief....he is not even 8 months old yet!

So I crossed the isle into the little boy section....where they sell actual t-shirts instead of the onesie type.....and began looking for big boy pajamas for my little Owen. He also needs warmer clothes so I browsed the long sleeve t-shirts, sweat shirts, & jackets. But I couldn't bring myself to buy anything from 'the other side' today....not yet. So we left empty handed and a bit teary eyed.

I did a bit more wandering in a different section and did happen to find some that were his size, cute, and not so 'manly'.....so much to my relief....Christmas morning is covered! :)

Owen is growing up. My mom warned me that it would be hard. I knew it was going to happen....just not yet. If I had my way, he would be wearing onesies until he left for college (now wouldn't that be a bit funny). Oh well.....I should have known.....he is half Hughes. :)

*Disclaimer.....Hughes is my maiden name for those who didn't know.....and my Dad and brothers are VERY tall/big (in the buff sense/they got muscles)....and I am not petite either.....I was doomed to birth a toddler.*

awe man! I feel your pain. It doesn't matter if he grows out of baby clothes now or when he's "supposed to" (whatever that means), it's still hard! My Tyler toddles around and plays like a big boy now and I say to Andy, "DAD! He's so BIG!" :(

I agree! SOOO tough! I find myself wandering back over to the "baby" side thinking, "Well, maybe I can find something he can wear still...."
