Bed or Potty?

My friend Megan has 4 children and recently told me about having to duct tape one of her daughters diapers on her for bedtime. I thought this was so funny but immediately thought "My Avery would never do that!"...well, I was WRONG! Avery woke up this morning with her pajamas 1/2 unzipped - something I've never seen her do. Luckily she didn't get them all the way off ...but I think she was working on what she would accomplish at naptime! I came into her room to see her standing in her crib with no diaper on and trying to reach what was on top of her bookshelf next to her bed. She had taken off a dry diaper only to pee in her crib!!! Ugh! I had just put clean sheets on! The funny part is that all morning she was asking to "pee pee potty" so she would rip her diaper off and head to the bathroom. Of all the 12 times she asked to go, I thought for sure that today would be our breakthrough! Unfortunately, today was not the day to "pee pee potty" but to "pee pee bed"! Needless to say, we might have to go buy some duct tape before bedtime!

Oh no!!! That's no fun. Before you resort to duct tape, you could try putting her diaper on backwards. It's kind of hard for them to reach around and undo it. You have to have her lie on her tummy to put the diaper on :) That lasted quite a while for us :)
