i mean seriously??? this is the age at which they tear their dressers and closets apart... putting on and taking off and putting on clothing, 'just because'... and the idiots put SNAPS on the thing that m y 2 year old hasn't mastered yet unless you count being able to UNsnap them.. so that cute little polo shirt that has 6 -yeah, that's right... count 'em- SIX snaps up the front is actually a modern day parental torture device.
this is what we sound like....
A2: "PEEEEEEZ? PEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ?!"
Me: "Annabelle. no. i am not snapping those for you. stop UNsnapping them!"
A2: PEEEEEEEEEEEZ!!!!!!!"
Me: "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
A2: (comes over and hugs my leg and plants a kiss on my knee) "peez?"
Me: (SIGH, mumbling obscenities under my breath and vowing, for the fiftieth time, to take the shirt and burn it later) "FINE." (snaps buttons) "DO NOT unsnap those things, annabelle. DO NOT. i am not going to snap them again. "
(YEAH, right. )
replay this about 5 or 6 times until i take the shirt away from a screaming, heartbroken annabelle in a fit of unprecedented frustration.

Oh God, you had me rolling! I remember those days fondly with my nieces and nephews, and I'm dreading them when I have my own kids.
Maybe I'll only use buttons... but that means more work to undress a sleeping kid. Crap.
Marissa....just stick to zippers. footie jammies with zippers!! just make sure the zipper can't separate (like a jacket). they can zip and unzip to their hearts content. plus midnight diaper changes are much much easier with zippers!
