When I was little, a friend of my mom’s gave a box of her kids’ outgrown clothes to us. I misheard during the exchange, thinking they were called “handy-down clothes.” This mistake persisted embarrassingly long into my adulthood. But my innocent take on the act of kindness makes sense. Hand-me-downs are handy.
After Teddy outgrew his little dude clothes, I gave them away to a friend and my sister-in-law. Both were expecting boys. It was perfect. I held back a few keepsake items, like the sleepers they wore home from the hospital and a few of my favorite tiny t-shirts.
Like this one.
Because of my sentimentality, my three youngest geniuses have something in common.

So adorable!
The cutest little geniuses I ever did see!
I remember that shirt! I love it, AND Handy down clothes. PS you will see that Ivy is STILL wearing the coat you handed down to us!!

Handy-downs are the best! We have been blessed with great neighbors who have shared kindly with us, so we have done the same….
Those photos are the best! Who wore the shirt the earliest??? Is it a 3-6 mo size?
