He could get dressed right away, but that one he wants to avoid it.

I'm getting the feeling that the"baby" you're referring to is older than what we would usually mean by "baby." How old is he?

He just turned 3. I know most people would say 'toddler' or 'my son' something like that, but I think I would use this term until he graduates his kindergarden.
