How To Dress A Toddler

Popsugar has put together a hilarious list of steps all toddlers follow when getting dressed.

Parenting is hard and sometimes you just have to laugh so you won't cry… or totally lose your mind. So, laugh along with these hilarious steps:

1. Take off your pajamas and run around the house naked for several minutes. Screaming optional.
2. Throw a tantrum and wiggle around on the floor once you've been caught. Getting dressed is so lame!
3. Allow your mom to put your shirt over your head, then promptly run away and take the shirt off. Bonus points for hiding it somewhere clever, like the toilet.
4. Return to your room after the ever-frightening “countdown.” Phew, she almost got to three that time!
5. Finally admit defeat and put on the shirt Mom has selected, but take off your underwear — and run.
6. Play cat and mouse with Mom for the rest of the morning. She'll tire out soon enough.
7. Run into the living room, where Mom is likely sitting defeated on the couch, and announce that you're dressing as Spiderman for the day. And ultimately win the war, because at least being Spiderman means you're “dressed.”

Does that sum up your efforts to get your own little sour patch kid dressed? Because I'm thinking that Popsugar spent some time observing at my house before they wrote this article. That's exactly how our mornings go. In fact, it's 4:00 pm and my son is still wearing nothing but Olaf underwear and ninja turtle socks.

If part of your experience wasn't covered in the 7 steps above, don't worry.  There are 14 steps for dressing a toddler for your amusement at Popsugar so go check it out and share your favorites in the comments.
