Getting dressed a little easier.

I have found one technique that tends to help my little 5 year old get dressed in the morning.

Nothing feels right to him, socks, tags, pants, especially in the morning so we usually have a rough start. But I have found that if I heat his clothes in the microwave, it makes for a much easier transition. (I only use the microwave, because of it's location. A dryer would be even better.)

We also use a sticker chart and rewards, for getting dressed without a fight.
