[blparent] challenges with dressing an infant

[Barbara Hammel]

Just take gentle hold of the leg you want to put in, put it in then do the 
same with the other.  Talk to her while you're doing it like, "Now let's put 
your left leg in, Leah."  Maybe talking to her about what you're doing and 
what you want her to do will help your frustration.

A Congress that will always do its work in the dark must have something to 
hide.  The people have spoken, yet they do not listen.
