DS4, NT, if it makes any difference refusing to wear any summer clothes - T-shirts, shorts in a heat for a second year in a row. When I changed his pyjama, which is also long sleeved and long legged, refused to put on a T-shirt despite the fact that it’s hot. We have a back door open, we’ve been out, playing with cars, enjoying the sun and he refuses to take of the long sleeved top and sweatpants. Last year I had the same battle. Even in the middle of summer when nights are almost unbearable, he prefers to sleep in a long sleeved pyjama and even socks. I always take them off after he’s asleep.
Only time he would wear t shirt is nursery, he comes into t shirt and hoodie on top and later someone takes it off I guess because 9/10 when times I pick him up he is without it. Or if I somehow put a T-shirt on him, he needs a jacket of some sort on top. And then if we are out and it gets very hot sometimes it’s possible to take the jacket off and leave him with just shirt.
Forget the shorts tho - impossible to put then on. He lives in his sweatpants. He always says his arms and legs are cold which I respect but somehow refuse to believe that he’s cold nonstop in the middle of summer in 30 degrees.
I don’t force him to wear something if he doesn’t like, but at the same time, it’s hot, everyone is in shirts and shorts and he’s the only one fully dressed like it’s freezing.
i also understand that fundamentally it’s not the end of the world if that’s what he prefers but somehow it just drives me crazy!
