Just wondering if anyone else has a little one who hates (and therefore refuses) to wear clothes with buttons?? And if so, is it likely to disappear anytime soon?
My 2.5yo daughter has recently started getting really upset anytime I get something our for her to wear that has buttons - she'll tell me how she doesn't like buttons and will fight off any attempt to put the clothes on her. Occasionally I can talk her into something (well, just about) and tell her it's nice/pretty etc and we get it on her. But often within hours (or maybe even as far later in the day as that afternoon) she'll all the sudden remember she's got buttons and take the clothes off! I've known for probably a year or so that she didn't like blouses that had buttons down the front - they were just out. But she was ok with dresses that had a few buttons, or buttons in the back, etc. However, now whenever I get out clothes, she insists that she examines the clothes first to see what they fasten with! lol Her favourite thing to wear would be pull on trousers or skirts and pull over tshirts or long sleeved tops. But she has loads of lovely dresses and outfits with buttons - so it's a shame she won't wear them! Zips are OK!
So....do the clothes get packed away since they'll not be worn by her? or has it just been a passing fad with anyone's children? I just sewed her a lovely skirt and matching top, but the shirt has two buttons at the shoulder. I thought it would be ok, but now she's disapproving of it too. Any tips from experienced mums? Thanks!
