Mom started a tradition when my brother's wife had their first baby. Mom kept a box of items from when each of us kids were baby's and then she would give us the box when we had our first baby. For years I have been looking forward to getting my box of baby things. Infertility put that off a few years and there were times that I thought I would never get to look in my baby box. I was finally given my baby box last week. I was able to do a quick look through then, but haven't had time to actually go through it at a slower pace until today. One thing that my Mom did get out to show me when she gave me the box is this bonnet.
I wore this home from the hospital when I was born. She wanted Chloe to be able to wear it home, but the box was in the attic and wasn't reachable until after Chloe came home. Since we stayed with my parents for a few days after Chloe was born, Mom requested we let her wear it from their house to ours. This is going to make a great scrapbook page for her baby book.
