A tender moment in our attic

Last week while the boys were napping, Claire and I did some organizing in our attic. I finally have a system for my kids clothes and am working on the final few boxes whenever I get a chance. On this particular afternoon, Claire was helping me sort through her old (3T) clothes.

As she was doing so, exclaiming every now and then, "Oh, I LOVED wearing this", she paused for a moment. There were tears in her eyes. She said, "I'm sad - I wish that I were still 3. I miss wearing these clothes."

We talked for a bit about how it's exciting to grow older but that it also can be scary.

Yet another reminder to me that kids so often really do "get it".
