Monday Melissa was in one of her moods before school. "Melissa, it's time to get dressed." "No!"
Rachel and I decided that if she pulls this stunt again, we won't cajole or coerce her; we'll just deliver her to her school in whatever state she is pleased to present herself.
(We did this with Matthew once, in preschool. Once. That was all it took.)
Matthew was nicknamed "Peanut" by his mother shortly after birth. How shortly, we're not really sure anymore; within the first few sleep-deprived days is all we remember. Matthew never did go through that period of sleeping all the time that baby books tell you newborns are supposed to have. Since his first abnormally alert days he's just become more and more active, and at some point his uncle Grant conferred upon him the moniker Savage.

priceless...
not a fan of the "nos" good luck and may she get dressed before school! lol
That is a fabulous teaching technique. Get dressed or go in your underwear! I love it.
Worked quite well with Matthew. I wrapped him in a blanket, gave him a bag of clothes, and kissed him goodbye. To top it off, the preschool lesson that day was on good and bad choices. Matthew unwittingly became the object lesson. It was just the icing on the cake.
When I tell him to get ready because we are leaving, he believes us!
