This canNOT be happening!

I detest the change of seasons only in one aspect. The "changing of the clothes". This is my biggest pet peeve in the world! In St. George it's especially hard because the weather plays tricks on us. We have a few days of chilly weather once fall rolls around, and then we get BLASTED with heat for a few days! So I always hesitate a little longer than needed to make the actual switch-a-roo.

As I was going through clothes the other day, I came across my eldest child's pile. He has a couple pairs of pants that fit, and two shirts. Yes, I said two. All of a sudden, this child is becoming a monster. He is 11 years old and has graduated from a size 4 shoe, to a size 8, a 10/12 shirt to a 14/16 and size 12 pants to size 14. WHAT? He's still a little boy! In my mind I just keep thinking, "This canNOT be happening!" Then reality slaps me in the face a little too unkindly. This boy is growing up.

He used to wear a size double the age he was. When he was 6 months, he wore 12 month clothes. When he was 1, he wore a size 2. I guess since he's 11, I should just be happy he doesn't wear a size 22. *sigh*
