Real Boys Wear Purple

Real boys wear purple.

Andrew Jammies

Yes, I put girl’s purple snowman pajamas on my little boy, Andrew, last night.

Remember my New Year’s plan to do less in the New Year? Well, I had not done laundry in over a week – we had better things to do like building forts to play in, eating play food and going to the mall to the indoor play area during the weekend.   No time for things like laundry!

So, when I went to get out some clean clothes for bedtime last night, the  only jammies left in Andrew’s drawer were fleece ones.  He never seems to sleep well when he has those on,  and since I really needed a good night’s sleep since Ella kept me up the night before with bad dreams, an asleep leg, being too hot, being too cold and so on, I just stuck some of his sister’s older jammies on him and called it a night.

He and I slept just fine and he had no idea he had on girl’s jammies until his dad told him in the morning!  (I still don’t think he knew though!)

I had to let him redeem himself by wearing an red football sweatshirt and sweatpants.  Classic “boy wear” PLUS he got a haircut today, so he really  looks all boy now. HaHa!

Andrew will be back to wearing his own jammies tonight.  I did the mountain of laundry last night into today.  Thank goodness…I wouldn’t want him (or his dad!) to get a complex!
