Pocket Pleasures

We all can agree that baby clothes are adorable; but I've wondered about the purpose of pockets on the clothes. Seriously, why does a baby need pockets?  Well, we'ver found that while pockets on a 12 month old may be decorative, to an 18 month old they become "fun"ctional.
Tatum recently discovered she had pockets on most of her pants and jackets. I showed her how small things can fit in her small pockets, and this was a great discovery. Pockets are great for storing buttons, magnets, cell phones, bouncy balls, and paper clips among other things. And storing items in a pocket gives Tatum much pleasure.

Last week as I putting Tatum's jacket on to go outside I discovered some weird plastic toy in her pocket. I asked Andrew about it, and he said that she's been coming home with stuff in her pockets from daycare. Let's hope this doesn't continue through the teenage years.
