As Xander headed off to snow camp he said “Mom, I have no clothes. And I mean literally no pants!” And I about fell over when he said “and I’d like jeans this time.” Knowing I was pressing my luck, I asked about long sleeve shirts. “Yeah, I’d like some.”
Glory, Halleluiah!
For a boy who has refused to wear jeans for a few years and has been out of long sleeves of any kind since he was old enough to yank off his own clothes, I am thrilled. So my outing today was to get the boy some new clothes before he changes his mind.
At the first store I found one thing for him and 3 for me, but then I stopped going to the women’s section and it went better. Every store has deep discounts; I paid attention & didn’t pay more than $10 for anything. I found a pair of dress pants he’ll hate, but they were only $3. Humor your mother for those prices.

Most everybody needs clothes. They’re going to need clothing--jeans, T-shirts, socks, the whole thing.” - Carol Jones

Are those shark jammies? They look like something Christopher would have grabbed. As far as jeans, since he has (also) just started wearing them, I need to have him along to try everything on before I buy it. Thankfully he was a good sport about it last time. I hope Xander loves what you picked out for him.
Ah, more bargains! I love those. Nicholas went through a year or so where he wouldn't wear jeans, now that's all he wears. Must be uncomfortable while they're in a growing stage.
What great deals!
