Moms, how many times have you wrestled an Alligater?

My son does that!! He is showing me his independence. He has gotten better over the past couple weeks, my trick is not giving in to him. His best thing is telling me he wants a bath and then when it comes time for him to get in, he refuses. That's fun, but I don't let him win. He has to get dressed, he has to get his diaper changed, eat, bathe, get cleaned up. I'm thoroughly exhausted after he fights me, but persistence is paying off, he is getting better!!
