Pajama solution for hot weather
Today was the first really hot day of this year. Not like scorching Phoenix in July hot, but it was in the seventies. I wore shorts and was sweating while I carried Noah in the Baby Bjorn as we walked around. The house is hot — I have all the windows open and the fans on. So, it’s warm … and if you aren’t sitting still, it’s uncomfortably warm.
Noah’s bedroom get all day sun and his room faces the sidewalk so I am loathe to open his window, lest those pesky fucking barking dog (Ahem! even my own pesky fucking barking dog) wake him from his delicate slumber. I couldn’t decide what he should wear to sleep in.
Naked with just a diaper? We aren’t that desperate yet.
A short sleeve bodysuit? His legs will get cold.
A long sleeve bodysuit? His legs will get cold. Still. Don’t you have any real ideas?
Pajamas with feet and long arms? Won’t he get hot????!!!
I have spent many years often agonizing over what to wear to a certain occasion or event. I take careful notes on the weather forecast, the nature of the event, the fabric content of the clothing choices, and then I debate some more and most often choose what makes my ass look largest. I’m not the best at fashion. I dress for comfort. So what to put Noah in tonight so he’ll be warm and comfortable but not too warm that he can’t sleep?
It’s been a long week. Marc was out of town so I did the single parent thing. I’m a teeny bit worn down … forgive my over-thinking.
My solution was to take his most tight fitting pair of footed cotton Gerber (From Target) pajamas and cut the feet off. This way he is covered but not too covered. Enough skin exposure for comfort in a house thats about seventy five degrees.
