Getting a Toddler Dressed

This is one of the things we take for granted these days is getting dressed. We dont actually think about getting dressed. But Dressing a toddler can be a task. Some mornings it takes me till midday to get her out of her pajamas and into clothes. And even then she isnt happy and runs away and I put the clothes on and she takes them off.

This becomes quite frustrating. I have a idea we put on the wiggles and she is occupied then and you start dressing her. It works. If you distract your child with maybe a toy that he or she likes or even make a game of it like singing eg. "This is the way we put on your top". Although Nappy changing is still a task and a half she just runs the other direction when she knows its time to change. You think if you were wet or had poos youd want to get out of the nappy.

So the distraction thing works once again in this tactic. Being a toddler they seem to not know what they want and can easily be distracted. I know myself a toddler is frustrating and fun at the same time. Enjoy
