Button, button, someone take away the buttons!!

When Wyatt was 3 1/2 (right after we moved), he developed this sudden fear of buttons. I am not sure if it was somehow related to the move or some random thing but he hates buttons. I have purged his wardrobe of almost all polo shirts because he has refused to wear them. For a while, he didn't want to go to church because it meant a "button shirt". It took both Tim and I wrestling him to get him dressed for church. Then he would push his chin into his neck to keep the buttons from touching his skin. For a while, we let him wear a tshirt with a sweater over it every other week. Last time my mom was here she wore a shirt with buttons on it and he wouldn't hug her when she had on the "button shirt". It has been extremely humorous and frustrating. But, I think we jumped some magical hurdle with him on Sunday. After church he wanted me to unbutton his shirt and I told him that a 4 1/2 year old should be able to unbutton a shirt. He started saying 'no, no' and backing away from me. But, I actually got him to touch one of the buttons!!! He helped push one button through the hole. I figure we have 14 1/5 years before his mission to overcome this--we are now one button closer!
