Hanging on to babyhood

I just finished posting our baby items that we no longer use on Craigslist.

:(

I didn't have such a hard time with the tub or the Bumbo seat, but I actually did the Bjorn last because.... well, maybe I thought if I didn't actually write "for sale", I wouldn't have to admit that I wasn't going to use it any more.

Me and that Bjorn, we had some good memories. I toted LB everywhere with that thing for, like, the first five months of his life. We went hiking to Diamondhead, Manoa Falls, the beaches, Aiea Loop, etc. I took that thing with us while traveling. It's been on more planes than most people experience. It's been to Waikiki, Boston, Hilton Head, Portsmouth, etc.

Good memories.

It's hard to let go of that. Of course, there are still good memories being made, but that Bjorn kind of represents the simplicity our life was when LB was an infant, and even when JC was an infant. It was the best feeling to have a baby fall asleep, snuggled up next to you, but in a way that let you still get chores and errands done.

*sigh* Farewell, babyhood.
