I don't know what it is, but there's something absolutely irresistible about feetie pajamas. I suspect it has to do with cuddliness and associations with freshly powdered bottoms and nighttime rituals. Whatever it is, I'm a sucker for blanket sleepers and tend to keep Dessa in hers longer than strictly necessary in the mornings. I virtually never change her into regular clothes until after her morning nap - what's the point? She wakes around seven, eats and plays until nine or nine-thirty and then down she goes. It's got to be more comfortable sleeping in her pajamas than in street clothes.  I especially love the ones with faces on the feet. I know it's a weird thing, these feet turned into disembodied heads, but it's pretty common in infant sleepwear. Dessa has a whole collection of this type and has, over time, had feet that were horse heads, frog heads, cat heads, duck heads and the ones pictured above which are... unclear. There is a sheep on the actual sleeper, so I suspect that the heads are supposed to be ovine in nature. However, I can't get past the sneaking suspicion that they are, in fact, kangaroos. What they're doing is, again, unclear. Dave has opined that they are actually aardvarks, but this seems esoteric, even for babywear. What I'd really like is a sleeper with something totally bizarre on the feet. Something beyond suspected aardvarks, I mean. Pirate heads would be cool. Lemurs would be most excellent. Octopii would be good, though tricky (not advised for early walkers, definitely). Seems like it could sell, you know? If you got the right look? There's got to be a market for such things - a hip, cool segment of the parent world that could get down with the idea. Of course, with my luck someone's already doing this and making their fortune on it. I'm always the last to know. |
