Now just how in the heck?? I need some advice!!!

Awe, I'm so sorry to hear that she is that sick!! I've had bronchitis before and know how miserable she is. And mine is very smart as well, but VERY stubborn. I tell him and he just looks at me like "WHATEVER mommy, whoosh, there ya go!!" I try to discipline him, but after the tenth time of doing that and then trying to locate the shirt or pants or sometimes both, I usually just give up.

She has been so pitiful. Just lays around and cries and whines. She is one of those kids that never seems to be sick so when she is she gets a big dose of it. I hate to see her sick I would much rather take it myself. It breaks my heart to see her like that.

Awe man, just hearing about it breaks my heart!! My oldest was prone to upper-respiratory infections and ear infections a lot under the age of 2, now all he gets are little colds thank god. I felt so bad for him when he had to go through that, so I completely understand what you both are going through right now.

WOW!! I never thought about that...but I don't have any!!:( Man, maybe that's why my mom had so many when I was growing up!!

but if they tug real hard the pins might eventually get lose and they might be even be hurt with those. i think i'd go for the duct tape. hehehe. just kidding.

You make a very valid point and I didn't think about that!! But a poster below recommended baby safety pins and that just might work...

Ya, that's pretty much what I have resorted to. Usually when he wants a shirt on he will bring me one so that I can put it on. So far he hasn't though today.

That does, thanks. We recently put a shirt on him and so far he has kept it on! But he is so much like me in that he is naturally hot natured and doesn't want a shirt on because he gets hot faster and makes it worse on him.

But thanks, that does make me feel better!!

LoL, thanks!!

Thank you for responding any way even though you don't have any advice. I am sorry that you have to go through this as well and hopefully both of us can get some help. Actually the safety pin idea sounds really good!!

The safety pin idea IS a great idea. 1 thing. try and get the baby safe safety pins.They have safety heads on them.Different Animal Shapes in Plastic Heads they lock and don't accidentally pop open and stick the baby. Another thing, if your child is as active as mine was at that age,like most when they are running around they put off some heat. Something that also works with my daughter a robe. She likes her short sleeved Super girl jammies. They are for summer and not nearly warm enough. So we compromise alot with her fav character robe. Target carries a few.

Wow, baby safety pins...I forgot about those!! Thanks I will keep that in mind if he continues to drive me crazy!!

I am sorry but you made me laugh...and not in a bad/mean way. But the first thing I saw was the bribery and I have tried that many times, but he still goes to a quiet little corner to undress. I'll try your suggestion about putting a button on and use some elastic, that sounds very smart and logical to do...too bad I didn't think about it!! And I tried your idea of "putting them back on", but with one of those warm onesies that zip up and it actually works!! Now he sits there and zips and unzips it rather than zip and whoosh he's naked again. So thanks for the tips, they really helped!!

AWE, that is so cute that she dresses you rather than herself...means that you are being a good mom and she is learning by your example, but it's a little backwards...still cute though! But I'm sorry to hear about the "epileptic fitz", I have a friend who has the same thing so I know how awful it is to see her go through that.

Oh my gosh, my oldest is the same way!! He use to complain all the time about being cold so we would tell him to get some clothes on (he would be in shorts and sleeveless shirt). But now when he is cold he'll put his jacket on himself...I just have to laugh because he will do that when he has shorts on! So I STILL have to tell him to get better clothes on!! And I'm sorry to hear that she strips down and pees on everything at night, hopefully you are able to put a stop to it real soon. How long has she been doing that? Sounds to me like she is the one that needs the duct tape!! LoL!! Good luck to you too, you need it more than I do!!

She's been doing that since she was about a year. I'm telling you, this girl is too smart for her own good. If you look back over the discussions I've started you would see that she is quite the handful! She knows how to unbuckle, untape, unstrap, undo anything and everything! She gets into and on everything. I've had to call poison control so many timmes it's not even funny. And it's not like I don't watch her! If I try to go to the bathroom and don't take her in there with me and hold onto her,she will get into everything in the 2 minutes it takes me to potty! Girls, girls, girls! None of my boys weere even close to being this bad!

That is too funny!! My boy is the same way-the one that this discussion is about!! At first I would take him into the bathroom with me so that I could keep an eye on him, now he's so used to going with me that he has a fit. But we have a latch on our fridge, shoelaces tying our cupboards up-they are designed weird and none of the baby latches fit. Thank goodness I only use a selected few cleaners so that I can keep them up on a shelf...when I first put them under the sink he got into them all the time. He turns our radio off and on all the time along with the t.v-so we are screwed if we are trying to watch a DVD. And what doors we have with locks on them are locked because he can open them as well. Oh, and he uses his tonka dump truck to get up to the sink and whatever else he wants to get into. I was told by his dad's mom that his dad was the same way, was a little climber and got into everything...so I was prepared when he got into the garbage while he was in his walker.

So I definitely understand and sympathize with you. When called a handful, they live up to their name!! LoL!!

You're right about the body temperature, I didn't really think about that. I was more concerned with his cold than anything else. But he seems to be fine now.

He needs a set of shirts that he'll love to wear. His favorite character or color. If you can't afford them, do what I did. I bought a little tube of puff paint and let my daughter put hand prints and doodles all over her shirts...She was proud to wear those shirts and show them off to the world!

Well, since it's been a while that I've started this discussion, I've come to the conclusion that he likes to be naked...as Dana Carvey said "It's NAKEY TIME!!"

When we go out anywhere he is such a good little boy and leaves his clothes on. But as soon as we get home one by one the clothes start coming off. First come the shoes and socks, then an hour later the shirt, and then an hour (give or take) later off come the pants. I've grown quite accustomed to it so it doesn't bother me anymore. Actually as long as he is happy and isn't doing this outside of the home, there really isn't anything wrong with it. I was just concerned because he was sick, but then he proved to me that there was no need to worry...along with some other people that posted here.

But thanks for the suggestion. I will try that anyway!!
