[blparent] Keeping Baby Clothes Paired

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Honestly, that's what the sighted dad of my daughter said as well.  He said 
the baby would be dressed in onesies for the summer most of the time, and 
sleepers for the cooler season.  He said keep a few nice paired outfits for 
special occasions, and don't worry about it for the rest of the time, which 
is pretty much the point I got to when my daughter--who is now six and ready 
to take on the first grade, where did the years go--was a baby.  If she was 
clean, we were good.  I was too worn out and overwhelmed to worry about cute 
clothes except if we were going someplace where pictures would be taken. 
Spend your precious time and energy enjoying that baby.  Seriously, the best 
advice I ever got was from one of my dearest aunts out of a Baby Blues comic 
strip--the days may be long, but the years are short.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may 
kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Why not use longere bags?
Babies are messy, leaks, spit up, drool, that sort of thing. Odds are you'll
get to the point of "It's clean, we're good to go".
I'll tell you that even if your husband could see, he wouldn't care about
keeping clothes matched. Guys don't generally care about that sort of thing.

Thank you, Peggy. I appreciate your response and will take it into
