The Magic Jammies

This is the story of the boy who wore the magic jammies.


Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Sean, who gave his parents such grief because he refused to sleep through the night. Just when it was looking like he would start sleeping through the night, he would get sick or start teething, and then his mommy would feel bad for letting him cry. She would get up several times a night to calm and comfort him back to sleep in his cozy little bed with all his blankets and stuffed Elmos. His mommy was soooooo tired from getting up during the night, and she suffered from insomnia.

One Sunday evening, she decided that little Sean was not sick and did not need to get up so many times during the night, so she devised a plan. It was a well thought out plan that would entail getting tough AGAIN. In creating this plan, she tried to remember times when little Sean DID sleep though the night. One such time he was wearing his blue polar bear jammies. His mommy tried putting those jammies on him that night, armed ready to take action in the middle of the night. But she never needed to get up that night! Little Sean slept cozily in his little bed all night long! He cried just a little, but not enough that his mommy would need to get up out of her own bed. She never needed to use the plan. Was it his jammies?

The next night, little Sean wore his blue polar bear jammies again, and again he slept through the night. For the last four nights, little Sean has worn the magic jammies that have helped him sleep through the night. But tonight, his jammies are dirty and need to be washed, so he will have to wear his similar blue and red fire engine jammies. Will the magic spell be broken?
