I love choosing things for her, and like you I try to take pleasure in that rather than think about the what-ifs.<br /><br />It helps that my sister isn't really into buying her cute outfits (she's more the practical sort) so relies on me to buy the "special occasion" outfits, which is fun. I was most put out when I realised that by starting school (and wearing a school uniform) her need for clothes had suddenly and dramatically dropped. Sigh!<br /><br />Finally, I'm scared when people in the northern hemisphere start talking about spring. I'm not ready for autumn and especially not winter.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836580783987031975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-42029279694901556192014-03-09T15:15:17.694-04:002014-03-09T15:15:17.694-04:00The little dresses used to get me too.

I cried over that, then.<br /><br />last year, when we had our own living baby girl, the neighbour kept saying she would visit soon, but that she didn't have a gift yet. At some point I just asked the dress back. (Typing this I'm almost ashamed I did that. But somehow it was healing)<br /><br />And in Amsterdam we had the first summery day today!
