Their swimsuits are still on the line, and yet the chill in the air tells me it is time to get out the fall clothes.
I open the baby’s drawer. He’s not a baby, I remind myself. He is two. I see cute PJs with feet that will not fit him this year. He is bigger now, too big for that.
And then, I take out the sweater, the one with the stripes, and I realize it is too small for him. There are many sweaters, but this particular sweater makes me pause.
Is it really time to pack this memory away?
