The Uncomfortable Blues

Jeans. Why do we do it? They just look so awkward and uncomfortable. They sag and bag and are just plain unattractive. Our poor kids. Overalls are a completely different story. Jeans, on the other hand, should be off limits for any child under one. They should be dressed in soothing fleece, cozy knits, and other "cuddle-worthy" fabrics. Take the jeans off your shelves you baby clothing stores. Us Moms are fed up with your uncomfortable seams and itchy waist bands.

Can you tell I am unhappy with my clothing choice for Josh for the day? I hated wearing jeans when I was a kid. Give me my stretchy knits any day.

Were you hoping he would poop all over them and be in need of a change halfway through the day? No such luck.

I actually like his little jeans. And, I love my jeans too. Those stretchy knit pants are for grandmothers... uh, I mean, old ladies. Give me my comfy jeans any day. If it weren't for them, what would I wear?

I think he looks adorable in his blue jeans! I like his Bulldogs sweatshirt too.

The jeans grew on me over the course of the day. It was the initial affect they had on me. They sagged around his middle and drooped over his toes. I wasn't sure what to make of those jeans. But by evening, I decided that they were... okay, I guess. But that doesn't change the fact that I hated jeans up through third grade.

Bethany, I can go with the "no jeans" on babies. I don't have a feeling strongly one way or the other, BUT for a little boy who is 2 or so, there is just nothing cuter than a little pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt! I always loved that on my boys. Even better if they are a bit worn out in the knees (as happens with little boys quite a bit).

This is probably the first time I've ever disagreed with you!!
I adore jeans on Judah - I always have, and he'll always be dressed in them ;)
He's got very little selection in other fabrics for pants - I just *heart* jeans! :)
