Adventures in toddlering

Story

My 2 year old son has reached the point where getting him to do anything is a challenge. Of course this includes getting him ready for bed. One night a while ago I scooped him up and carried him upside-down in to the bathroom to get ready. Now he refuses to go get changed for bed unless he is carried upside-down...

It may not be the victory you want, but it's a victory none the less.

Seems to come in waves. I have a 2 year 5 month old. Just keep finding different things that work. Once u get settled in, it will change lol. We went thru a stretch where he wouldn't want to get ready for bed. So we found making a big deal about his pajamas would get him excited to put them on. (oh wow!! Look mickey is on your pajamas, check this out wow.. Ect!) or bath time he hated. We got him a squirt bottle like they have at his haircut place and he loves playing with it.

It's like a constantly changing puzzle, you know the end result but got to figure out the pieces to get there.
