I went shopping a couple days ago. That's nothing unusual, I know, but this was a new kind of shopping for me. I resisted as long as I could, but eventually I gave in...
I went shopping for little boy's clothes!
There's a very nice second-hand store here in Wooster that deals exclusively in children's clothes, and I went there over my lunch break on Tuesday. I just couldn't help myself! I wandered down the aisle with the 18-month clothes in it... and I found three adorable outfits! (the best part of this is that these cost me less than $15, total!)
Brian and I have agreed that we will probably not buy many new clothes for Ethan until he has stopped growing so much - Goodwill, second-hand stores and hand-me-downs from friends will last us for a while, I'm sure!
After the last 15 years or so, I was pretty certain that I would never be shopping for children's clothing (other than for shower gifts or birthday gifts for others)... It just goes to show that God's Ways are not our ways, and His Thoughts are not our thoughts. And I'm so thankful for that! What an unexpected blessing He has given us!
(And I just had to share a photo of Ethan's first "official" outfits!)
