I wrastled me a toddler

I tell Gus that it's time for a bath.
He says ok and comes with me.
We get in the bathroom, he sees the tub full, and is fine.
I go to take his clothes off, and bam. I've lost him.
He is inconsolable.

No pants off!
No shirt off!
No diaper off!
No bath!

I get him in the bath. It was time, people, really.
He won't sit down.
I bathe him standing up.
Once we're finished, I go to pick him up.

No out!
Bath now!

This struggle had only just begun. The boy was tired, TIRED, I say, so I knew he was acting completely out of exhaustion, but oh. my. god. I felt like I was abusing him, and it felt horriblem but all these things needed to happen and he didn't want any of it, by god.
