Adventures in Poop
Note to self: do NOT put Kennedy in diapers with Velcro closures any time she is unsupervised, such as nap time. Fortunately Jeremy was home today when Kennedy woke up from her nap and had poop EVERYWHERE in her crib. Also fortunately, she is still in her crib, so it was fairly contained. Daddy threw all the dirty things in the wash while Mom threw the baby in the tub. Kennedy was absolutely devastated by the reaction she got to having explored her creative side while penned up in bed, but quickly got over it with some snuggles from Daddy and yogurt drops from Mom. Cadence never once tried to remove her own diaper, but I have caught Kennedy on more than one occasion removing her diaper (only the ones with Velcro closures) and especially if she has no pants on over the diaper. I never imagined, however, that this would be the end result. She's been doing really well going on the potty. She likes using the potty seat on the big potty, and the little training potty we have too, and she's doing pretty well at it. Sometimes she tells me she wants to go potty AFTER the fact, but she is trying. Cadence definitely needed more coaxing and prizes. Kennedy seems content (so far) on getting praise and lots of clapping. If there isn't enough clapping she claps for herself to get everyone going. It's great. :)

Not fun for you! We have had the same problem with our kids- Lillian especially. She would always take her diaper off, especially when she was supposed to be taking a nap and would get it's contents everywhere. My mom even tells a story about my sister painting her crib with her poop- - so not just velcroe disposable diapers are the problem!
