James and Mommy out and about

He spots the paparrazzi even before Sarah does. The only thing that could ‘annoy’ me a bit in these pictures is little James‘ outfit. His Mom is said to be THE fashionista, so I’m a bit confused here. I usually love his mismatched look but this time…. What do you guys think?

Pics taken in NY on Sept, 10 (which was also my b-day… does anyone care at all? yeah, didn’t think so! lol)
Anyway…

He’s in his pajamas isn’t he? Cute kid, but looks so grown up now! I really thought they’d be on their way with baby number two by now. Of course she has to stop smoking first.

He looks so comfy and so grown up now!

He’s just in his “jammies” and is probably not going far. When my children were that small and we had a bedtime grocery emergency, I didn’t make the kids get out of their jammies and put on a kiddie chic outfit. Now, if we were going out and about on a regular day, they were dressed appropriately, and very fashionably, I might add!

I have yet to meet a three-year old boy who gives two hoots about fashion!! (and I have a class full of them at one time;-) He is being a little boy…with all that it entails. I wouldn’t make my child dress “fashionable” just to make other people happy either. She might be a fashionista and all that, but she chooses that, why not let little James dress however he feels comfortable (within reason, of course)? Whom is he hurting/ bothering except people who have weird ideas on what little kids should be wearing. Go non-fashionista James:-)

I dont know. I never took my kids out in pajamas unless we were going to the doctors office. I get the impression from her that her son gets his way alot. Children do need to be taught how to dress appropriate. PJs are for bed and for home. No one is saying he needs to be in the finest designer duds. Another things, isnt he warm? Its been very very hot and humid here in NY. Shorts and a tee would be what I would have on my child.

Appropriate according to WHOM though? I have let my child go out in her PJ’s a couple of times. She happens to LOVE her “Monkey Princess” PJ’s, and I don’t see the harm in letting a 2.5 yo wear her PJ’s out. “Appropriate” my eye…she is LITTLE! What’s approriate for you, might not matter at all to me…to each his own!
As far as getting his way…who are we to comment on her parenting style?! The child seems happy, healthy and thriving. People are too uptight and stuffy in the US sometimes…Lighten up and give the CHILD a break:-)

I don’t think it’s a big deal to let a little kid go out in his PJs or unmatched clothes every once inawhile either, especially if it’s just a trip down the block to the supermarket. BUT, I have to agree- SJP seems to *always* have him in PJs or in something from the thrift store. Every pic I see of him he’s got the ugliest outfit out and never matches. Like she throws on the first thing she sees. Is it that hard to dress a child in the morning? He’s the MaryKate Olsen of the 3 year old world. Cute kid, but mom needs to put more effort into dressing him.

In defense of my use of the terms “appropriately” and “fashionably” I was referring to appropriate for the weather or the occasion (coats/sweaters for cold weather, shorts and sundresses for summer; dressier for church or a wedding, more casual for play or school) and fashionably according to my children, for at a certain age they do notice what other kids are wearing and want to dress similarly, even my little boy and he’s no sissy. How do you account for target marketing? These little guys and girls want to wear what their peers are wearing and I see nothing wrong with that as long as you are not too indulgent and don’t go into debt buying beyond your means. I don’t know why SJP makes the “fashion” choices for James that she does (or lets him make); different parenting styles are just that: different.
