[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are grown but I wish I had kept a few special books and favorite toys. When your kids are grown, they may cherish them. When I say few I mean 1-3 not 10-15 books and toys.[/quote] They will not cherish them. It's ok for you to keep a few things. But be honest with yourself that you are keeping this stuff FOR YOU. Not for them. My mom had saved a box of clothes. There were maybe 2 items in the entire box that were still in good shape and cute enough that I put my kid in them. She wore them each for one season. So 35 years of saving stuff in a box may not have been worth that. I have a small box of things I can't get rid of. But I am pretty honest with myself that this box is FOR ME. I have no expectations my kids will want these items when they are older. Babies and toddlers don't even remember wearing the baby/toddler clothes![/quote]
