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.
oh my goodness… that’s adorable. That’s so ME!!! i can’t clash, even in my sleep…
At my house, Jungle boy might go to bed wearing one thing and get up in the morning wearing something else.
I’ve gotten used to it. Boys are weird.
just wait until he hits middle school. then they care about their hair AND their clothes, AND deoderant. It’s a mess.
Can’t be mismatched in the dark. 🙂
In the dark everything matches. Graeat post.
My kids look homeless when they go to bed and I don’t care as long as they GO to SLEEP!
Sometimes this parenting thing is painful, isn’t it?
That is too much. Well…less work for mom again with the 50/50 ratio!
Ha ha ha ha!
SO thankful I have two boys who don’t care.
Ever.
sooo cute!!!
