> The good news is that older boys clothes aren't really all that individual or particularly memorable, so it gets much easier as they get older.I've noticed. I'm not very concerned about parting with the track pants and baseball/football/basketball t-shirts. My son absolutely refuses to wear anything with a button. It started when he was about a year and a half. He must have had a traumatic experience I was unaware of because one day, I was dressing him and he started screaming and crying. It became a huge ordeal each time I attempted to sneak a button in here or there. The only time I can get a button on him now is for pictures. And I'm lucky to get that. Stubborn little man he is. But I pick my battles, I guess.
> Annierose is right. Save a few. When he's too old to feel foolish being sentimental, he'll love seeing his stuff and wondering that he was ever that little.I think his wife will probably enjoy seeing them even more than he will.
> My favorite of his sleepers with the bear face on its bottom is currently being worn by a realistic looking baby doll. Ok. That may be a bit odd of me. But my mother let me use my baby clothes as doll clothes when I was little.Not odd. My mom let me use my baby clothes on the dog. :-o
