Okay, so I have to explain why I'm posting this picture. My sister Amber deserves my publicly posting this picture and confessing that "I think these pajamas are absolutely irresistably cute" on Zion. Why do I have to say this? Well, she lent me this big bag of clothes that her son Chandler wore as a baby. When I was looking through the pajamas, I pulled out the one shown here on Zion and said "Oh, these pajamas are so cute and fuzzy!". Amber looked at me stunned and said "Are you kidding me? I specifically remember you teased me about Chandler wearing those pajamas!" At that moment, I realized this was true. So, I humbly admit that I was wrong. Chandler just had to have been as irresistably cute wearing these jams as I think Zion is! They are so soft and warm and just make me want to snuggle him!
Now, you also have to know that the reason I made such a fuss is because I think most baby boy clothes are as hideous as holiday sweaters and school teacher wooden charm necklaces. You all know what I'm talking about! If you are a baby and a girl, you got it good. Everything seems extremely cute for girls. Now boys, they get cheap looking decals slapped onto everything: dump trucks, sailboats, footballs, basketballs, baseballs, trains, firetrucks...you know? Well, every once in awhile, someone in the baby boy fashion industry gets it right and tastefully displays an image like this plane on this so soft
snuggly sleeper. That's my very biased opinion, of course. Oh, and it has nothing to do with brand name! Children's stores like Children's Place and Gap can be (I said can be!) some of the worst offenders...well, Wal-Mart too (hee-hee). Again, my very biased opinion. So in conclusion, he's still not gonna wear that turtleneck with the firetruck plastered on it and the matching red denim overalls, or the t-shirt with the Big Bird decal. Well, at least he won't wear that stuff until the day we're at let's say, Target and he sees those-Buzz-Lightyear-house-slippers-that-light-up-when-you-walk that he swears are his absolute favorite thing in the world! LOL.

I think I am going to die laughing...you pinned the tail on the donkey!! So true, so true!
thank you! thank you! I was cracking myself up just typing it.
Hehe! Ah, you now know my frustration with boys clothing! I remember when Chandler was a baby I would get SO MAD every time I went to buy him clothes because E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G had some kind of ball on it! Soccer ball, football, baseball, etc! I remember screaming in Target one time when I was looking for PLAIN t-shirts & couldn't find anything without a freaking BALL on it!
You will, however, come to the point in time where Zion picks out some horrid Elmo outfit or pair of shoes with a Disney character on it & YOU actually BUY IT FOR HIM because you know it will bring him such joy!!! The Buzz Lightyear light-up sandals were that moment for me. Chandler wore them out of Target that day & I can honestly say that was probably the happiest day in his entire life-LOL! He even wore them to bed that night! *Then he wore them ALL SUMMER LONG & I had to swallow my pride because I KNEW they brought him such happiness (I did draw the line at him wearing them for Easter, and to weddings....that I just couldn't do!).
