What is wrong with this picture?



At first glance there is nothing inherently wrong with Ryan's choice of clothing.  The long sleeve shirt under the t-shirt is fashionable, the colors even co-ordinate well.  Ryan finds that this outfit is particularly comfortable.  So comfortable, in fact,  that this is the 3rd day in a row that he has worn it to school (and it has not been washed during that time.)  I don't know if this is a sad commentary on my parenting or simply evidence of his lack of desire to change out of comfy clothes.  I mean who can blame him?  The kid is all about comfort.  If I would let him, he would go to school in his PJs.  Typically he stays in them until a half hour before he goes to afternoon Kindergarten.   I'm supposing that this is his solution to not being able to wear pajamas but still wanting to be comfortable.  He goes and changes at the last minute, puts this on (for the 2nd and 3rd day in a row) and I'm too harried trying to get lunch and him on-time to school to make him go change again.  Its a battle I don't want to deal with and he's on to that. But I wonder if his teacher is thinking, "Why does his mother let him wear the same clothes 3 days in a row?"  Maybe she is. . .Oh well, maybe I can at least sneak them into the washer before he decides to wear it again every day next week!

You a good mum, sis. Keep fighting the battles that make a difference, and not stressing about the ones that don't.

It makes perfect sense to me, why NOT wear the same thing day in and day out if it's comfy...he's on to something!

If I don't have to go anywhere, I stay in my pj's until I go to work. At 6pm!!! lol I know the babies are going to get me dirty so why bother, I will just have to change again anyway. And it is more comfy! I like it, Ryan!!
