Boys in pink pyjamas?

[Greedygirl]

My gorgeous (and quite butch) little boy has his heart set on some pink pyjamas. I would quite like to indulge him; if you can't wear pink pyjamas when you are 2 then when?! He is also obsessed with Daphne and Velma from Scooby Doo so imagine my delight when I saw these
but am I silly for wishing they were a little bit less, well - girly?!

Hes small,pink is a colour thats all - indulge him - they are pjs thats all.

THELMA!

Doodlez - no it is definately Velma! I have read his shockingly boring Scooby album 10 trillion times. I always thought it was Thelma too!

Nickschick - I know in my heart you are right. Perhaps it is the thought of DH's face when he sees what I have bought!

Definitely. Whoops.

Noooooooooooo -

It.

Can't.

Be.

It's not a real name!!!!!

And Thelma is?! I know, I thought it was a typo to begin with. Ridiculous. I am sorry to have been the one to break the news to you!

Velma

But think of your ds's face when he sees them...

You definitely should.

My ds wears quite a few pink things that dd has outgrown. Mostly pants but also a fetching pair of pink flowery pyjama bottoms that he has worn several times to get dd from school. Dh is unfazed by it all. I know it's a bit different because I didn't buy them specifically for him but why not?

It's bloody outrageous, that's what it is!

I feel all at sea now! It's Thelma in my head, forever.

Buy the PJs, they are nice. Who cares if they are girly?

I have to say I am shocked by Velmagate.

my dd inherited her brothers' old choo choo pajamas and loves them to bits, so let him have the pjs'. they are bright and cheerful and as pink was a boys colour originally, why not. yes, it is velma ds went through a scooby doo phase (i'm still a fan) and was gutted when he changed to spongebob

It has to be done doesn't it? I am going to get them.

Doodlez - my son would disagree too; he calls her Delma. We can't be the only ones who thought she was a Thelma. Those pesky kids need to pronounce their Vs!

Yes to pink PJS. my 3 yr old ds has pink fleece trews ( and purple ones too) as his current favourite trousers. they look fab teamed up with a black T-shirt or a Purple football shirt.
He likes bright colours and I indulge it.

Go for it, i say. It'll be a giggle.

My ds (3.5) is a definite 'boy' boy, loves trucks, diggers cars etc. However my best memory is arriving to pick him up from the childminder to find him dressed up as a princess. His choice! He loves it, tho DH was a bit unsure about it all.

He is a moth to a flame with pink things, especially shoes, and I know if I resisted, he'd be much more fixated. (He hasn't got pink shoes btw as they didn't have them in his size..)

Bless him, get them, he'll love them.

I remember reading somewhere that pink used to be considered a perfectly decent manly colour, it's only recently it's been girly.

But Velma? Yet another thing I turn out to have been wrong about all my life

do it, my 3.5yr old loves all things pink, we have pink cups and toothbrushes and he too gravitates towards the pink sparkley shoes in the dressing up box, I even got him some for our dressing up clothes at home, he refuses to wear them, I got wedges he wanted 'clippy cloppy' shoes I completely understand you wishing things would be a little less full on 'girly' ds2 is just 2 and loves pepper pig, wish they did more boys pepper pig clothes!

Go for it. Nothing wrong in pink for a boy, I say, if he enjoys wearing them.

The one thing I have always deeply regretted about ds1's preschool years is that I did not buy him these when he asked me for them
