If it were me, I would say "Sesame Street pajamas - blue shirt with x character and y character, solid black pants. Pants were z type of fabric (thick like sweats? Thin like t-shirt?)"I dont think its an irrelevant or petty observation.
I can easily see a parent not being able to remember the exact top and bottom a toddler was wearing as once matching tops and bottoms disappear into the laundry deep void and mismatches become common.
But... I cant see many parents describing pajamas as "black pants". Likewise, I cant see too many parents letting a child sleep the night with pajama tops and pants bottoms (though I am sure it does occur).
Maybe a Freudian slip indicating that the toddler was being dressed for travel?
Basically, start with a general broad stroke and then get more descriptive and detailed about each piece. That is just me, though, and I don't think there is anything strange about what he was described as wearing or how it was described.
