Year 1, Day 126

What group of old male fashion designers were sitting around a conference table one afternoon, and decided that the baby ONESIE (aka bodysuits and creepers) should be designed with three snaps? Please tell me? Obviously, they were designing the apparel on a baby mannequin. It is virtually impossible to put on a onesie - that snaps in the crotch with 3 impossible fasteners - when your child is squirming, flipping himself, crawling, throwing himself off the table, and running away. On a good day, I can fasten 2 snaps, but I usually miss the first and then he's awkwardly crooked and has a permanent wedgie. It can't be comfortable. I will discontinue use to save my sanity, but I can't help but love the ease of putting on a "shirt" that stays tucked into his little denim carpenter jeans. Pair that with his new bomber jacket and converse, and he's a hit all around.

The same male fashion designers who created the snap onesie must have invented the snap overalls on the same day. Surely, like all men, they think about the problem and try to find a solution: diaper change difficult? Provide snaps up and down the legs and through the crotch area. Obviously they didn't test their final product on a moving baby and realize that snaps don't stay fastened when said baby moves around at mock five speed.

Perhaps in the closing of the fashion design meeting, the men unanimously voted that hats should be made WITHOUT velcro fasteners and mittens should be made without strings or clips for said baby . . . where are the snaps now? huh? I could use SOMETHING to keep Jack's hat on his head and mittens on his hands.
