Nothing jolts me into reminding me I’m about to be a father than seeing the baby and children clothing sections in retail stores. I stare at the little clothes in awe and I’m amazed that these little clothes will fit my child. In fact, I have noticed that I am awful at judging sizes of baby clothes. When I see these little shirts and shorts and skirts I almost always think, “Hey that’s an outfit we can bring the babies home from the hospital in.” However, when I go look at the size it almost always says 3-6 months or even 6-9 months! I guess that’s something that will come with experience.

On a similar note, the other day I took a shortcut through the pre-teen clothing section at Target on my way to pick up some baby items. On my way, I happened to glance at the display on my left only to realize I was walking through the training bra and pre-teen bra section. My life fast-forwarded 12 to 13 years from now and the fact that Swee’Pea will be shopping for these. I said a small prayer thanking God that my wife will be taking care of this one.
