"Jordan, I picked out this super cute shirt for you to wear today. Look how cute it is!"
"No. I don't like that."
"Why don't you like it? It's really cute." (Shauna in the background: "Oh that IS really cute Jordan!")
"Because I don't."
"What don't you like about it?"
"Because I said I don't."
"No, WHAT don't you like about it?" (Forgetting for moment there is no such thing as reasoning with toddler.)
"Because I DON'T."
"Please. Mommy wants to take a few pictures of you in it. Then you can take it off and wear whatever you would like. You can pick out whatever bottoms you want to wear!"
"NO! I don't want THAT shirt!"
"Please."
"No."
"Well, Mommy is going to put it on you anyway for a few minutes and then you can take it off, okay."
Tantrum/battle ensues for 2 minutes.
"I want to go to the park now!"
Shirt is forgotten and all is right with the world again. Mommy got some pictures and toddler is just fine. Toddler wore shirt all day.
