Red - Good luck with the pre-bath routine. Let us know how it goes. I can really relate to this thread. My DD is so much more challenging than I thought she would be. When she turned two, I thought "hey, what's the big deal - this isn't so tough!!". But as the months go by, new challenges keep popping up. And it's very hard to stay on top of them and keep a good balance between giving her freedom and maintaining control. And the thing is, I actually think overall she's pretty well behaved. I'm starting to worry a little about when my boys will be this age! And then of course people keep telling me that age three is even tougher!
