Today was “Wear Your PJs to School Day” at the preschool. Last year, Carrie and I had plans to meet Uncle Michael for lunch, and she refused to entertain the notion of changing into daytime clothes after school. So, wisely knowing when to pick my battles, I let her spend the entire day in her pajamas. We met for lunch, and in the process she got honey and peanut butter all down her front. After, we went for ice cream, and she got blue cotton candy ice cream all down her front. Finally, we went to the bookstore, and I couldn’t figure out why I was getting all these dirty looks from everyone else there…until I realized that my 3.5 year old was walking around in food stained pajamas at 3:30 in the afternoon!
So, we decided to make it a tradition. :)
We met Uncle Michael for lunch again today, but no food was spilled. The only odd looks we got were when we were shopping in the clothing store – maybe the people there thought all our clothes were dirty so I took my kid shopping in her pjs for new, clean clothes?
Oh, and then we went to a bike shop and Carrie tried out some bikes for size (we’re thinking of getting her a two-wheeler with training wheels this spring)…in her pajamas. And a helmet, of course!
