Oh, those pesky pants!
Categories: Kids 5-7, Development, Kid decor & style
Sometimes, you just have to shake your head in wonder and ask yourself where the time has gone. What happened to the innocent little boy I used to know who would stare in wonder at the three stars in a row on Orion's Belt and run down the hall, arms flapping, shrieking in joy as the tickle monster followed in hot pursuit. Gone are the days of waking up with Jared snuffling up as close to me as he can possibly get without actually penetrating my skin.This morning, Rachel walked into our bedroom and informed me that "Your son is up and is missing his pants. He doesn't seem to know what happened to them either."
An image of my son passed out pantless in his bedroom filled my vision and I buried my head in my hands. "I had hoped," I told Rachel, "that that sort of thing wouldn't start until he went off to college." And to think he's not even six yet.

OO, OO, were they tucked down at the foot of the bed under the sheets? When my husband runs out of underwear, that's where I look.
My 8 & 10 year old daughters consider pants to be pesky in general. After getting home from school, the 8 year old always shucks her pants. If she wants to go outside she puts on shorts. We live in TN, so that is okay 10 months out of 12. I do find it annoying when she later complains of being cold. Put on pants, child!

Haha! My daughter hasn't learned to take any clothing off yet, but she certainly will put up a fight to put pants on in the first place. She rather run around in just her diaper.
Cute post!

Wait a sec... lemme get this straight... Kids wear pants?!!
Sheesh you'd swear mine didn't know what pants were at times. Then when I do hold up a pair of them and insist they wear them, I might as well be holding a snarling creature of some kind. They look at me totally puzzled or they grin and bolt.
Darn boys... They'd rather just walk around in their underwear or totally fly in the breeze... Ahh well gives me lots of embarassing stories to tell their girlfriends when they get older :-)
