TJ's new PJs are purple with decorative birds. I know the design is intended for girls. But he doesn't. He says he's 'warm and cozy,' and has been begging for 'footie' pajamas for weeks. They're hard to find in a 5T. But Costco had a table-full of Carter's footie flannel pajamas yesterday when we made a quick stop for the essentials (eggs and wine). My first stab at the dinosaur, pirate and sporting-themed designs netted me about 20 pairs in 3T and another 15 in 6 months. Neither was going to work.
So I dug deeper, trying not to make too much of a mess (I worked retail once; I know how it goes). The sign told me I had a chance: Carters One-Piece Pajamas, 6mos-5T, $7.99.
My second go of it netted me another few dozen 3Ts and several 18-months. Finally, a dinosaur 4T and the purple, birded 5T. I held up the 4T to TJ's back. Nope, way too small. The 5T was going to fit perfectly.
"But those are girl ... ," Luke started before I shot him one of my shut-your-pie-hole-before-I-shut-it-for-you looks.
"I love them," said TJ. "Can I wear them now?"
I figured for $8, if after only two weeks he decided they were too girly, I'd send them on their way to our pint-sized niece. But for now, the boy is warm and cozy.
Which melts my heart.
Happy new year! Stay warm, stay cozy.
If you still have these PJs and your kiddo had outgrown them, i will buy them! I got the same pair for my daughter and they are getting too small. She is obsessed with the birdies (who am i kidding, I'm obsessed). I can't find them anywhere now. You can email me at m.damitio@gmail.com :)
