The title is slightly misleading since I haven't figured out how to do this myself 100% of the time, only 50%. Leigh was a great model putting on the dress and taking it off when I needed to. But Abby, no way.
I was even prepared for some resistance, so I had candy as a bribe. Some nice, big, blue whale candies. I gave her one right away, and then popped her shirt off. But as soon as I tried to put the dress over her head, well, that was when the cooperation ended.
I then proceeded to pry the candy from her mouth, since the candy was for trying on the dress. She naturally got upset about that so I tried to put the dress on again, all the time explaining why she got the candy and that it was conditional.
Nope, not happening. So I shoved my finger in her mouth, trying to avoid her sharp little teeth, and amazingly enough, I got the entire candy out of her mouth. Not something I really want to do everyday though; saliva, gross.
I gave her a little time-out in her room since she was freaking out. And then we tried again. But still she refused!
This has now turned into a battle of the wills and I am determined to win. But I know from experience (just last night for example) that Abby sticks to her guns pretty strongly. So I'll let you know the winner!
On a completely different matter, does anyone know how to remove the security tags from clothing? I bought Abby a skirt while I was away and they didn't remove the tag and the store is a good two plus hours away. And I live in a small town where I don't think any stores use security tags...
