'Jammies' (also known as 'p.j.'s') are what kids often call their pajamas. Many other words ending in the suffix -y or -ie are also often used in childhood, such as potty (toilet), poopy (excrement), tummy (stomach), kitty (kitten or cat), doggie (dog), fishy (fish) and birdie (bird). Really, just about any word can have -y or -ie added to it, and it sounds more kid-friendly and less threatening.
Examples:
-Okay, time to put your jammies on!
-Lookie! Do you see the boat?
