The last time we visited family and friends from our home town, one of our close friends gave us a bin packed full of clothes for lil G.
Today, before nap time, I went through all of G's clothes, pulling out the clothes that didn't fit him any more (or close to not fitting any more) and replacing them with the clothes from the new bin we'd just received. Last year, the same friends had given us a bin packed full of 2T clothes. We had also received clothes from other friends who were cleaning out their own boys' clothes. As I was packing away all of the clothes sizes 18 months to 2T, I was humbled. I packed away two bins, packed to the brim with clothes! And there are still some clothes yet to be laundered and packed away, too! This is to add to the 3 bins full of clothes from newborn to 18 months already in the attic! But here's the thing about the large 18 month clothes through the 2T clothes: we probably purchased fewer than 10 total pieces of clothing for G during that time. The rest had been given to us by generous friends and family.
And today, putting the new 3T clothes into his drawers, I was humbled by the fact we likely won't need to buy clothes for him again. His drawers are packed solid with tops, pants, shorts, pajamas, and his closet is full of coats, dress shirts, jackets, and sweatshirts.
I am so grateful for such a generous blessing for our family!
