When our TAG Gonzo used to misbehave that way we found a trick that
often worked.
Once he has on a hand (often the hardest part) we would hold our other
hand about 4-6" above him, roughly over his shoulders, all the while
talking to him and gently holding on to one foot between thumb and
forefinger. He was definately uncomfortable with the hand being there
but he wouldn't try to fly off.
Good luck, Barb. Toddlers with wings demand a whole new level of
patience.
