Further Proof...

That men shouldn't shop.
My very generous inlaws ordered PJ his toddler bed and my father in law chose the bedding for it.

I'm all for PJ getting in touch with his feminine side, but maybe not at bedtime?

 

[rascalmom]

Um, hmmm - was it on sale?

 

[CinderellaIam]

Oh my. Is he color blind by any chance? Maybe he thought it was like green and yellow...and maybe his eyes are a bit off and he thought that was a bumble bee???

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

Well..maybe grandpa is color blind, but I would use it...who cares if it is pink and purple...it IS the thought that counts

 

[DoeWDW]

I would very politely thank them for the gift and then RUN to the store to get something more "boyish". I'd keep the pink & purple bedding around just in case of an emergency (think getting sick at 3 AM) but wouldn't use it all the time.

It was sweet of them to be so generous.

I'm not color blind but I had problems seeing the colors on my screen. Until I clicked on the close up pic the set looked light blue & the butterflys didn't stand out, perhaps he had the same problem?

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

trust me...use it..It is a waste to buy more "toddler bed" sheets..they only use the toddler bed for a short time....if I could go back, I wouldn't have ordered the bedding set that I did...such a waste of money that could be used for something else!

If you are that opposed to using them, then I suggest using them only when Grandpa comes over...saves hurt feelings

 

[Mimi Q]

Very pretty for a little girl though.

 

[DWhittles]

Trust me. If he knew he ordered pink and purple bedding for his grandson, he'd be mortified. It was a mistake. I know him well enough to know this.He's a total guys guy. He wouldn't ever ever order this on purpose. I think he didn't realize.
I'm going to mention it to my mother in law...

 

[DWhittles]

I just called my mother in law and she's horrified that he ordered the wrong thing.
She said I should send it back and get something else. I said "well, he doesn't care much. I just thought it was funny" She said "PJ can't sleep on BUTTERFLIES!"
So back it goes for an exchange...

 

[BostonTigger]

Poor PJ. If he doesn't get rid of that bed before he gets too old he'll be the object of every bully in school.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Ok you found out it was a mistake. I thought it might be his way of telling you he wanted a granddaughter.

 

[stinkerbelle]

but wait...

did he get the matching valance?

 

[Briarmom]

I may be wrong (it has happened once) but I think that toddler bed sheets are just crib sheets. You use the matress from the crib and put it in a 'toddler sized' bed. So you probably have sheets that will fit already.

LOL, I'm kinda sure he wants one of those too...But I don't think he wants to go as far as turning my Patrick into a Patricia...

No thank GOD...

Oh really? Now this I didn't know...that's great news though...That might save me some major heaches down the road...

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

Really? I'll have to see if that works when it comes time to get Bugsy a 'toddler' bed. He's still in the crib for now because he can't climb out of it.......yet.

Yes, toddler beds use a crib mattress (and sheets). But most crib sets do not come with a flat sheet or standard pillowcase. We just used all of the crib sheets we had and the crib comforter and standard pillowcases we already had. My kids had a 'blankie' they used instead of a flat sheet.
