I had a very emotional moment last week. I have always kept a "step basket" on the staircase that leads to my boys' room. It was used to collect all the "stuff" they left lying around the house; at first LEGO pieces yo-yos, and pencil cases. As the years passed it became keys, wallets, sunglasses, mail, etc. I realized we don't need it anymore...there is no "stuff" to put in it and nobody to collect it. *sniff, sniff*
