Outgrown.

I don't remember exactly how tiny Lil' J was at birth. It makes me sad to say this.

Shouldn't all mothers remember all the wee bits of their newborn?

Those tiny fingers, tiny toes, tiny eyes, tiny nose.

I only remember that she was very small and delicate so I had to be extra careful with her.

While clearing her drawers to make way for new clothes, I found the very dress we bought her for her first month party, and the two dresses for newborns that my aunt bought. They are really, really tiny.

So that's how small Lil' J was.

I don't think I'll ever want to give these clothes away. I may, if my sister needs it in future. But for now I'll keep them safe, for they are the things that remind me of Lil' J's newborn days.
