pajama game

Maybe your kid is like mine, fixated on certain items of clothing. In our house, it’s pajamas (or jamamas, as my kid refers to them). My son gravitates towards certain patterns and sometimes even insists on wearing fuzzy footie sleepwear in the summer. His most favorite pair is a long sleeved and long pant, size 3T robot pattern from Old Navy. I was so ready to retire them, but our son wouldn’t give them up even though he’s 4 years old and wears a size 5 or 6 T. My husband had the brilliant idea to cut the long sleeve top into short sleeves and crop the pants below the knees. Without the oh-so-tight wrist and ankle cuffs, they fit perfectly and look too cute with the jagged edges. We’ve gotten an extra season (or two or three!) out of them, and while they are not much longer for this world, at least that’s one battle I don’t have to fight at the moment.
