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.

MOMMY!
yes?
I NEED TO CHANGE MY JAMMIES…THEY DON’T MATCH.
Ah, boys. They are SO much fun!
I don’t like it when my PJ’s don’t match either. 🙂
My 3 year old, very much cares what he wears. And usually that means sweats in the summer and shorts in the winter. Or rain boots and shorts. Don’t pick your battles, but matching IS important. Nice job!
I love it – thinking of this will keep me smiling all day. My youngest is the most dapper around here. The others will wear whatever’s closest to where they’re sitting when they get dressed. Boys!
LOVE me some Rhett!!! That is so cute 🙂
At that age, Reese had a football jersey obsession. I bought about 15 jerseys and he would go through them ALL in 1 day. Love the little quirks they have ! 🙂
That is too funny!!! He would get along great with my kids!!!!
i’m with debbie … ahh the memories.
although i will say that 14-year-old girls have a fashion sense that kicks my butt. ugh.
Oh, the memories are flooding back. That’s why I love all of you with younger kids so much – you help me to remember the insanity I had forgotten.
how cute. i had a brother like that. none of my kids seem to care much if things match. not even the girls. my oldest is 15 and wants to be a fashion designer. the stuff she puts together doesn’t seem to match to me at all, but i guess she is just working with what she has.
HA HA HA !! that is totally Rhett!!! He so knows what he wants! I tell you he is the ruler of his own little world over there at The homer kingdom…
