One of the things I have enjoyed about having boys is their total lack of interest in what they are wearing, when they are wearing it and who sees them wear it. Oh, I have had the occasional
Not so much with Rhett(2). He is a fashionista. He is a boy with a clear idea of what he should wear. He even has strong opinions about what I should wear. For the last 6 months or so he has been adamant that the only pair of pajamas that he could be seen in were his orange power ranger pjs:
God forbid I actually wash them and not have them ready in time for bed time.
Thankfully after months of orange PJ obsession, he recently accepted an alternate pair of pjs:
His embracement of red monster truck pajamas has made my life much easier. PJ laundry is no longer an emergency. The orange power ranger set is now in a rotation with just 50% usage.
A few nights ago he declared that he was going to wear the shirt of the monster truck set and the shorts of the orange power ranger set to bed:
He then stated that he would wear the opposite combination the next night:
No problem. I am a mommy who knows how to not pick a battle.
The red and orange jammie combo it is!
He got dressed.
He brushed his teeth.
He played for awhile.
He went through his bedtime routine.
He went to bed.
I kissed him goodnight, turned off the light and left the room.
*3 minutes pass*
MOMMY!
yes?
I NEED TO CHANGE MY JAMMIES…THEY DON’T MATCH.
Now you wait one minute, I know you live in Texas and I know it’s a state law that little boys must wear footie pj’s to bed in Texas. Am I going to have to report you for breaking the law?
I’m all caught up! I’ve missed you!
My oldest daughter freguently changes pajamas after we’ve kissed her goodnight and left the room. It isn’t unusual to find her floor littered with jammies in the morning. Crazy kid!
Adorable! That is SO something my daughter would do. She always takes off her socks before nap time and I will ask her “are you SURE you don’t want your socks on?” (while putting them in my back pocket when she’s not looking) and she says “no socks mommy!” and then as soon as she is in bed, she starts yelling “I need my socks!!!”
I think it has something to do with being the third boy – because Danny is like that, whereas the other two could care less, they even wear whatever they wore during the day to bed, much to the chagrine of their mother.
Danny might also have been affected by his three older sisters as well though, not quite sure on that one yet.
LOL. that is good. i could see my son doing something like that. 😉
xoxoxo
How cute! My youngest would sleep in anything as long as it was zipped all the way to his eyeballs. He got a new jacket from his aunt one time, and he wouldn’t take it off for 24 hours.
that’s very beautiful. Lovely.
