Jack is 3.2 years and has been potty trained now for almost 3 months. We have lived in sweats and pretty much anything with elastic waistbands. I'm about to buy new summer clothes, but am hesitant to buy anything other than elastic waists. I am curious about how long it took your little one to learn buttons, snaps and zippers...we can wear them on the weekends when we are home and we can help, but at school he's got to do it all on his own. Sometimes he comes home with his little underwear all bunched up or twisted in his pants. He is learning to pull up underwear first and THEN the pants. I don't want to make it more complicated with buttons or snaps, but I feel like we are going to be wearing elastic FOREVER!

on the plus side, I've found some awesome "pull on" pants and shorts that aren't sweats or warm up pants!

Boy, n.: a noise with dirt on it.
So if you sent him to school in pants with a zipper and button and he couldn't get it closed they'd let him walk around all day with it open? That's weird.

There are some really cute shorts out there that have elastic.
Good luck, he'll get those snaps/buttons/zippers soon!
Lavina - that's what I'm afraid of! He doesn't like to wear his other clothes without elastic!!
Seriously, you are not in a bad situation. You can get lots of pull on woven pants and short for little boys that are not athletic. Geranimals at Walmart makes them. They sell out fast so you need to get them when they come in no matter how ridiculously out of season they seem. Target gets them usually for the entire season. I was out shopping with my possible future SIL this weekend and bought some for the little guy and my big guy too. My only complaint was this year half the short were pull on and the other half had zippers and snaps. Crazy Eight and Gymboree usually have big selections. If you are a rewards member with Gymboree they will send their promotions to you and you can end up getting them for only a couple of dollars more than Target's versions. Gap usually has a few heavy twill and denim bottoms with rib knit waistbands and draw strings. And if you want an actual pair of pants Gap and sometimes Old Navy makes pants for little guys with zippers and slide bar hook closures with a faux button on the front of the pants. Much easier for them to use than an actual button. So if your willing to look and shop at multiple places, you can find pants and shorts that don't make your little man look like a junior bum! (But I can't guarantee when he gets bigger he will actually wear them!)
