Last week I did a big sale on Instagram, selling off some of Iris’ clothes that she just doesn’t fit into any more (insert waterfall of tears here). As I was going through bags of old clothes, I found one item that I knew I just couldn’t part with.

When I first found out I was pregnant back in early 2011, I bought two pieces of clothing. One for a boy and one for a girl. At that time I had no idea which one I’d need. I also apparently had no idea how to buy baby clothes. Despite the fact that this sweet polka dot number had a tag that read “3T”, I thought it was a perfect little baby dress.

As I rediscovered it this past weekend, I realized that now it was truly her size. The stars aligned because, despite it being an early February day, the weather was warm and sunny, so once again Iris wore the first “dress” that she ever owned.

And she’s owned a lot.

And for the record, Iris pulled off the boy outfit pretty well too.
