Last weekend we were at my sister's house for her 40th birthday party. We brought along Lucy's pajamas to change her into before we left since we would be leaving late. About 20 minutes before we left Lucy found her pajamas in her backpack and brought them to me. I'm guessing she was ready to change into them and go to bed, so I changed her into her pajamas. Then I gave her the cup of milk that she usually has before bed and she spent the rest of the time we were there running around the family room in her pajamas, drinking her milk. Everyone who attended the party (about 25-30 people) was still there and just watching her in her pajamas.
As I was watching her, I had the thought, "what if everyone else here decided it was time to change into their pajamas and did so, sitting around drinking milk out of a sippy cup?." This was such a funny mental image to me! Imagine being with your friends, all adults, and everyone changed into their footed, onesie pajamas for the last 30 minutes or so that they were there. This is so not acceptable for adults, but certainly is for kids! I've seen some articles online on this very topic - things kids can get away with that adults can't. Some of what kids do really isn't acceptable for adults, but can you image how nice it would be if it were okay for us to change into our pajamas before leaving a party, especially if it was late? We could then drive home and go straight to bed!
