Mommy Confessions
So it's January. So Christmas day came and went almost a month ago, and Thanksgiving almost two. I get it. I just don't see why I have to waste all these perfect little outfits just to correspond with Hallmark's greeting card schedule.
And for that very reason, I decided to make Niall continue wearing his festive holiday garb until it doesn't fit him any more. I simply refuse to throw an outfit into one of those basement tubs until it's been worn at least 5 times. Yes, it's slightly compulsive, I know...
Let's be honest- who knows if the next kid will be in that exact size for his or her first Christmas, for goodness sake?? I can't just risk an outfit being worn once and then forever retired. It's wayyy too upsetting for me.
Exhibit C: "Elf in Training" shirt
It works great for hanging out around the house. Who cares if he's wearing a Santa shirt with red velvet pants? But I guess it doesn't work so great when you leave the house and take the kid's coat off in public. I kinda forget about things being socially acceptable.
And on a side note, you should also probably know that I make him wear his shirts that are too small for him as pajama tops. I like to think of it as being creative ;)
Click it or ticket! Just kidding, but please vote for us :)

Don't feel badly - yesterday I stayed in my pajamas and Mason wore a Halloween outfit LOL
ReplyDeleteWonderful, I'm not the only one holding out on holiday clothes this year. Even more I bought Christmas PJ yesterday for my son because they were a good sale item and nice and warm too. :)
ReplyDeleteHey my kid was the only kid at the children's museum today running around in only a pull up. That's right, practically naked. Oh I brought him in a normal outfit, but it just didn't stick I guess....
ReplyDeleteoh man! henry is STILL wearing his holiday outfits too! love it!
