Sorting clothes: The brainstorm

With three boys, I have the luxury of passing down a lot of clothes.  But with that comes the difficulty of sorting and storing the clothes when they aren't in use.

In their closets/dressers, they will need

Elliott: 4T and 5T summer and fall

William: 2T and 3T summer and fall 

Henry: Newborn, 3 to 6 months fall and winter

I think I will keep the fall and winter clothes in marked containers in the closet and switch them out with the summer clothes in late September. That way it's accessible in case we need jeans and long sleeves in mid-September, but not out in the dressers until we really need it daily.

So that means that in the closets, I will need containers marked

For Elliott: Winter 4T/5T

For William: Winter 2T/3T

For Henry: Winter 3 to 6 months

I will need containers waiting and labeled 

Summer 4T/5T

Summer 2T/3T

Right now, many of those clothes are either in containers in the attic or strewn about in the closet floor.
