Change of season,

change of clothes.

Out comes the rubber boots, rainwear and t-shirts

away goes the snowsuits, scarves and mitts.

Clothes are tried on which bring forth shouts of "too small, too short, too faded"

Into the different piles they go, goodwill, hand-me-down and the special keepers.

Now comes the fun part:

sorting through the hand-down- box for bigger clothing

and "SHOPPING" for the new stuff

like Easter dresses, shorts and bathing suits.

In the midst of all the organizing and fun.

Mommy was challenged with a simple question:

What have you outgown since last July?

So today I ponder this

personal metamorphisis.
