[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My two-year-old is much more cooperative after breakfast, so we pick out his clothes and bring them to the kitchen to have him put them on after he finishes eating. It also helps to let him pick out his own clothes and to make sure we have shirts with his favorite things on them so he is excited about them.[/quote]

This. I've also found that if your child is wearing a diaper to bed still, you can split up getting dressed and it's easier. So first thing in the morning, the focus is on taking off the diaper and changing into underwear, which only takes a second and is something that's easy to take a hard line on because if they are still sleeping in a pull up, presumably it's still wet sometimes, and you can't let them sit in that. But you don't have to get dressed at this point. Bottoms off, and if it's easy, top off too.

Then breakfast. While they eat, set out clothes. At this point, your kid is either almost naked except for underwear, or bottomless. I find it's easier to get a kid in that state dressed than trying to get them to change from pajamas into clothes.

It's harder if they are night trained, but very few 2 year olds are. By the time they night train, this problem will probably go away on its own.
