Ah, how I love when the seasons change. The air gets colder, and the cozy blankets come out. But one thing I look forward to every year is FLEECE PAJAMA TIME for my boys. Because, let’s be honest, snuggling up with your little one in footie pajamas is nothing short of magical, am I right?
Each season we head to Carter’s to stock up from their pajama shop. I shared the photo below on Instagram from the day we shopped for new pajamas for our little guys. We decided to go while Wyatt was at school so we could have a little date with Levi.
We love shopping at Carterโs because they offer a variety of styles โ from snuggly one-piece PJs to printed 2-piece sets, to 4-pieceย options. Levi was born with Clubfoot and is still in his boots and bar during the night, so we love putting him to bed in the 2-piece sets to keep him nice and warm in the winter.
Levi was VERY excited about all of the fun animal patterns, the blue polar bear PJ’s are now his favorite! This kid is just like his momma, animal obsessed. All of his favorite books have animals in them, too – so he’s always requesting to read books that tell stories involving bears, hippos, cats, just any animal!
Reading is something we do a lot of in our home, especially at night time. Reading for us is a great way to re-connect, snuggle up, andย just breathe. It settles everyone down and gets both boys nice and relaxed. After their bath, they both get dressed in their soft fleece pajamas, hop into their beds and wait to read their stories. Sometimes we all meet in Levi’s room, or Wyatt’s room, or our big bed – it depends on the night. But it’s a family activity that we look forward to each night.
I wanted to share a list of some of our favorite bedtime stories with you, so you can hopefully discover a new and special book to share with your little one. Check out the list below and let us know if you’ve read any of these!

I love Carter’s clothes they last a long time even after washing them a couple of times. The quality of the clothes are great.
Aww, fleece pajamas are the absolute best! The new PJs look cute! I like your bedtime story choices!
Carter’s sounds like a great place to shop for the nice more pj’s. I love this list of bedtime books for the little ones and I do believe reading to them is so important. I will have to share the information and the list with my sister along with my nieces for their little ones. Thanks for sharing a great list of reads and the pajamas.
My kids love reading books! Carter’s is a great shop for pajamas! I can’t wait to go back to pick up some winter PJs
My kids have piles of books for bedtime. We rotate through them and switch it up as often as we can, I don’t think they have a favorite but we love adding to it when we can, we will add some of these!
I buy this brand ALL the time. Seems to be consistent and good quality.
I love Carters. Their clothes are always so cute and affordable! I can gets lot of outfits and not leave breaking the bank.
Carters clothing is always so adorable. My nieces and nephews love any book at bedtime, they always have a hard time choosing just one.
My favorite time of day is when we can unwind and relax with a good bed time book. I’m a bookworm and I started reading to the kids as soon as they were born. I think it’s important. I’ll check out your list to see if there are any on here I should purchase. I’m already a Carter’s fan.
This is a great list of books to read before bed! I also love those cute jammies!!
