"I won't tell Santa..."



As many of you know, Cooper could LIVE in pajamas. He's got more pairs than a any child needs, but everyone knows he likes them, so he gets a lot as gifts. Cooper would wear pajamas all day, everyday, if I let him.

Last Saturday we celebrated his birthday. He wanted to wear pajamas. I said, "No, not for your party. How about we bring in your tote (with all the clothes that are either out of season or too big) and see if we can find something "new" for you to wear for your party?"

He agreed, but there he found LOTS of jammies. Believe me, he tried on nearly every pair in the 30 GALLON tote! One pair was actually size 4T, which I didn't realize were still in there. When he finally agreed on an outfit (which happens to be about the only other thing he'll wear besides pajamas-not something new at all), he said, "But, can I PLEASE wear jammies UNDER my clothes!?" I agreed to it. WHATEVER:)

After the birthday party, we were going to see Santa, and so when we got ready to head downtown, we were asking Cooper what he would tell Santa he wanted for Christmas. Jolene piped up and said, "Santa doesn't bring anything to kids wearing jammies!"

Cooper turned around so fast and said, "I WON'T TELL HIM!!"

That night at bedtime, I was asking Cooper about his conversation with Santa, and he said he asked for Hot Wheels cars. I asked him if Santa asked if he was naughty or nice. He said no. Then quickly said, "I didn't tell him I was wearing jammies!!"
