Is it normal for a mother to still be holding on to her child's toys for memories?
My husband will be 30 this year and his mother still has his tricycle and many of his toys from when he was a baby and a small child. She also still has some of his clothing. She still has his bronzed baby shoes on display in the living room, and she even has a lock of his hair (from when he was a toddler) saved in a baggie. I think this is so weird. I could see maybe one or two things, but why would she still be holding on to all this?

Oh hun yes hold onto as much as you can because they grow soooooo damn fast

It's her life, her memories. Some people like tangible reminders of the important things in their past. Some don't.
It's not weird. It's just what's important to her, what makes her feel content.
Other Replys:Yes, its normal. Well maybe its a lost art. Looking at baby books now they aren't like the baby books of past. My baby book from the seventies has a glued envelope for the lock of hair from your first hair cut. Saving a few special items to pass down to the grandchildren is very common. In fact my favorite stuff to use now are the family heirlooms. High chair my brothers used. Christening gowns and little tennis shoes. Wooden cradles and rocking chairs, afghans and blankets.
