Getting the text of a Button when it is being read as a Node. Looping VBox

Question

I'm learning JavaFX and this is just a small programming question.
I have 3 buttons in a VBox. And I want to apply the same 3 effects on all buttons after I put them in the Vbox. But when I use a for loop and getChildren() on the VBox, they are returned as 'Nodes'. I can't use the Button.getText() to find out the text of the button.
Is there a way I can getText of a Node? Or maybe convert the current Node to a Button and get the text that way?
VBox vbox = new VBox();
Button option1= new Button("First Button");
Button option2= new Button("Second Button");
Button option3= new Button("View Rules");
vbox.getChildren().add(option1);
vbox.getChildren().add(option2);
vbox.getChildren().add(option3);
for (final Node button : vbox.getChildren())
button.setOnMouseEntered(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>()
@Override
public void handle(MouseEvent arg0)
button.setEffect(addEffect(Color.web("#53CFA6"), .8, 10));
button.setOnMouseExited(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>()
@Override
public void handle(MouseEvent arg0)
button.setEffect(addEffect(Color.web("#FF6800"), .8, 10));
button.setOnMouseClicked(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>()
@Override
public void handle(MouseEvent arg0)
button.setEffect(addEffect(Color.web("#E62800"), .8, 10));
//Need to use button.getText()
//Button button; button.getText() works
}

Hello user,
You should have formatted your code properly. Look in the forum guides to format the codes.
For getting the instance of Button , You need to do it safely
There are two ways to get instance of Button.
for (final Node button : vbox.getChildren()){
     Button b = null;
     if(button instanceof Button){
          b = button;
     if(b != null){
          //Do your stuffs here
}Or You can even do like this too
for (final Node button : vbox.getChildren()){
     Button b =null;
     try{
          b = (Button) button; //casting the class
     catch(ClassCastException e){
          e.printStackTrace();
     if(b != null){
          //Do your stuffs here
}Thanks
