Clothes in the closet? Close enough. Just close the door.

Ccccccccccraaaaaaap!  That doesn't fit him either.  After having held the pants up to his legs, figuring they MIGHT, MAYBE, COULD fit.  Then wrastlin' the baby long enough to get them on, only to realize - they don't.  Screw it...close enough!

Wow, does this baby grow out of clothes quickly!  His closet is like a constant rotating dessert case in a diner.  (Mmmm...dessert. I digress.)  As soon as I put something in, I have to take something out.

There have been a few occasions in his short 8.5 month life that I've already had to put him in pants that aren't quite his size. So, before he even has a say, he's gotten to be the super cool kid wearing flood pants that are clearly WAY too short. 

Back to the rotating closet.  I simply can't keep up with the closet OR the dresser.  How DO you do it?!  Both constantly have stuff in them that I'm dodging because I know it doesn't fit. Then when Chandler goes to dress him, he has no clue what is in there that fits Gabriel NOW.

Oh, and there's also the piles.  There is a twin bed in Gabriel's room.  I do try to keep his room pretty clean and packed up, BUT that bed basically has
  1. a constant pile of clothes that he's already outgrown and I haven't had the chance to pack away yet and 
  2. a constant pile of clothes that he'll fit into soon that I haven't had the chance to hang/fold (partly due to the fact that there is no room because of all of the stuff in the closet/drawers that doesn't fit him anymore...it's a vicious cycle, really). 
It is tough to get this done since you can't do it after he goes to bed or during a nap.  I need a magic baby clothes fairy...who also washes the clothes, mows the lawn, cooks dinner, cleans toilets and workouts for me.  Do they sell those on Amazon?

Until they do, I will just close the closet door and ignore.
