I'm struggling to let go of the material things...I have a 3.5 year old & a 1 year old & I'm clearing out the proper little baby stuff - the weaning stuff, the rattles, the touchy feely books, the tiny babygros - and I'm finding it really upsetting, is this normal?! We've decided against a 3rd and I'm ok with that but I did really love being pregnant and loved the baby phase (though neither of my babies were 'easy' babies!) I have sold all my maternity clothes, baby bouncers etc. My Dad died suddenly when I was younger & I don't have that many photos & just one recording of his voice, so with my DC I've always taken lots of photos, videos, held on to material things for sentimental reasons, but while I am always clearing things out gradually (our house is tiny), I am finding letting the little baby stuff go really hard at the moment. Is this usual when it comes to stuff? Wanting to hang on to the more mundane things rather than the obviously meaningful (like first shoes etc?)
