battle every single day. Sick to deathy of it. tried reasoning, removing toys and shouting. DH can do it so why cant I?

he's 2 1/2 btw

throw them at him and wlak away
worked for me

right calmer now...
think you're actually right, he wants to do it himself, so I suppose the answer is to make sure he can do it, which can can mostly with clothes.
Teeth another issue though but have just had success with him starting and me finishing off.
