Diaper Changes - So Easy Even A Caveman Can Do It or Rocket Science?

I have always had diaper woes with Hailey, mostly due to her petite frame. We have tried several different kinds of diapers, but the only ones that have a 75% chance of holding in the foulness that is expelled into them are Pampers Swaddlers (and they don't make them in the next size up, so don't know what we'll do then). But, other than that, diaper changing should be an easy task, wouldn't you think? Well, apparently you need to meet my daughter, the Houdini of the baby world! She has taken to rolling over onto her stomach at the exact moment you are trying to put on a new diaper, thus rendering you helpless and fearful that the foulness may not be contained! So, you roll her back over and this time give her a toy or something to keep her occupied. However, being the genius that she is she is onto this little trick and is no longer falling for it, so she tries to roll over again. Here I am holding her legs as tight as I can up in the air and she is trying to twist and roll like a crocodile trying to kill it's prey. I bet the sight of it would make a great video on YouTube (and sometimes I'm looking over my shoulder to see if Ashton Kutcher is going to jump out of the closet and tell me I've been Punk'd!) Diaper changes, which ought to be a mundane part of my everyday routine have become a battle of wits and wills at my house. But,as I often tell my preschoolers, "I ALWAYS win!"

I remember those days and don't miss them A BIT! We didn't have problems with the diapers fitting once they were on, but I remember them both trying to roll while getting changed. Oh... fun times! NOT!!

DaDaDaDaDa:

I can't wait until she figures out she can take them off!

Mom:

HAHA!
