The house behind us - so our back yards face one another - is inhabited by a young family with a pair of twin girls. Samantha and Alexandra, aged three, are cute little towheads, quite active, and very friendly. They don't know our names but will always call out a cheery "hi!" if one of us comes outside when they are playing in their yard. They like to be noticed.
Deb reports that Sammie and Alex were out swinging on their new swing set one recent afternoon.
Buck naked.
"Come back in, honey!" called Mom.
But she was not going to fight the losing battle of getting clothes on her little girl:
"I've still got to put sunscreen on your little bottom!"
What battles are you fighting which might be approached differently? :-)

This made me laugh. A new strategy, brilliant illustration.
Yeah, there are times when you just need to change your plans (especially, I imagine, as a mother!)
