Lucy is sooooo sensitive to tight-fitting clothes (around the arms, wrists, waist, ankles, neck, etc.) and is apt to throw multiple daily fits about certain articles of clothing. Well--most articles of clothing. That includes pajamas. So I was proud of myself when I realized she could wear gowns to bed. (It took me a long time to figure this out--don't know why.) We picked one up today at the Carter's store on sale; when Lucy tried it on in the store and I asked her if it bothered her, she triumphantly declared no! I quickly washed and dried it so she she could wear it tonight. We put it on tonight for bed, and what do you know? She threw a fit (seemed like the shoulder seam/underarm area was the culprit). Great. She got over it, but still--goodness gracious, child!Regarding the "tactile sensitivity," I do think Lucy has some sort of sensory issue regarding stuff touching her. Her aversions go beyond normal 2-year-old tantrums. So I've looked into "brushing therapy"; I'm going to get a brush this next week and try it, because I don't know how many more clothing-related tantrums we can take!

Fascinating! I just heard about the brushing therapy for the first time last night. Hope it helps Lucy deal with her issues.
Do you remember that you had issues with anytingn to do with your feet? Your shoes and socks had to be just right or else you would meltdown.
