Today is Pajama Day in Sushi’s school. While this has been some parents’ request to be implemented in school, I don’t buy it.
Para que? This isn't daycare. The kids were told to go to school in “cozy pajamas”, and bring a small stuffed toy “that will fit in the backpack” and a “favourite book to enjoy.” But there was no movie to watch as class routine would be ongoing, including the required outdoor activity... yes, even at the height of winter. Sushi said, there was not even extra time to read or share that favourite book, and - in his words - “it was only checking out the style of each other's pajamas.”
Note, the kill-joy mum had let him wear his regular school-appropriate clothing.
Okay, I look forward to Pizza Days. But Pajama Days… I don’t want another morning negotiating about what pajama to wear to school as I think the PJs is not a proper dress code to any place other than the bedroom. Why doesn’t the school increase their 20-minute lunch break instead? Isn’t that more benefitting to the child than being in their pajamas all day in school?
Tomorrow is Sashimi's Movie & PJ Day.
But he goes to a daycare. Nuf said!
you should've dressed him up in a suit and have him tell people that's what he wears to bed. hahaha (ala Barney in How I met your Mother)
