Get what you pay for......




So, we've all probably had hand-me-downs before or shared our children's clothes with friends, siblings, etc. right? Well, I nannied for a family beginning in 2001 - who at the time had a set of 7 month old triplets. 2 boys, 1 girl. About 15 months after I started, they added another child to the mix. Another boy. 13 months after that boy was added, we added Konnor to the mix. I worked with them until Konnor was about 18 months old. And then came Hunter, and then came Quinn.......

I never received hand-me-downs from anyone because I #1 - didn't have any friends who had boys prior to me and #2 - I was the first in my family to have a child. So.....the picture above is a picture of Quinn wearing a set of the most adorable, durable jammies in the world. Quinn will be the 6th child in 8 years who has worn these pajamas!!! I remember the triplet boys wearing them, and then their little brother, then Konnor, Hunter, and now Quinn. (I may have even passed them down to my nephew Jake, but I can't recall so I won't say for sure!).

Thank you, BabyGap for making the best quality kids' clothes in the world! These things still look new (except for the grip on the bottom of the feet) but who can see that part anyway?! Quinn received multiple compliments on them at Konnor's school - he slept in this morning until we were ready to walk out the door so he was able to model them at school.

Thank you, Kuechler family for passing them along to us. I think of the kids often - and can still see little Ryan running around in them...and by the time they reached Logan, I remember having to monitor him closely on the tile b/c he was always slipping and sliding:)

Look at the cute little feet on the things - little doggies or something?

This Mommy loves pajamas - but adores these soft, fuzzy, cuddly, smooshy, cutest.things.ever. - footy jammies.
