Why parenting is a two-person job

For a couple of weeks now, I've been trying to teach Dale how to take off his own shirt so he isn't coming to me every time it is time to change.

This winter he had it down: hold on to one sleeve and pull your arms in and go from there. But now that it is short sleeve weather he's having trouble. (Ever gotten 'stuck' in an article of clothing? Frustrating!)

In spite of all my little lessons, Dale just wasn't getting it.

Enter Daddy.

Greg came along and gave one lesson, of a completely different method (which I thought was completely awkward and would never work...)....

.... and now Dale is a pro. After ONE lesson.

It takes two, baby.

Well, are you going to let us in on the secret of the "successful" method? Good job Dale! Now you are ready to travel to places far and wide (wink-wink).
