[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why in the world are you worrying about what she wants to wear to school NEXT YEAR?

Focus on what’s happening now and enjoy your kid!!! If they want to talk excitedly about next year, let them. Thinking about moving up to a new school IS exciting!! Encourage them to imagine and chat about it. You can deal with the details when they actually come up.

BTW, Flannel pajamas are a late fall/winter thing. So seriously, you have at least six months until this is real. Don’t spend this time arguing about a hypothetical. Just listen. Your kid is telling you they’re excited about their new school that’s a good thing!

Kid: I can’t wait for next year. Everyone wears pajamas at [next year’s school]!

You: I noticed! Is it every day or only on special occasions like pajama day?

Kid: [All about pajama-wearing at next year’s school.]

You: Wow / hmmmm / really?

And who knows what your kids fashion sense will be by then? For example, TODAY my sixth grade girl got in the car and said “by the way, the style isn’t to wear all one brand anymore. You can’t wear all lululemon. You have to mix it up with lululemon shorts and a top from somewhere else or a top from there with athleta shorts.” According to her this change occurred THIS WEEK. I just nodded along and said “ok, you need a few more tops so maybe we can look at target” while laughing internally. Keep in mind my kid has never worn “ALL lululemon” at one time. She has one pair of lululemon shorts that she had to pay more than half of herself.[/quote]
