Okay so this is seriously going to be my next step!! No this is not a picture of Porter...however...this WILL be him tonight! He has been taking his clothes off for the past month or so whenever he was playing in his crib before or after a nap or in the morning...but it always stopped at that. UNTIL....two days ago!!! For the second morning in a row he has decided to take off all of his clothes, AND diaper after having a MAJOR blowout! (thanks to his two year molars breaking through!!!) Sheets, blakets, crib, self....everything covered in a not so sweet smelling surprise! If he would just cry to let me know he wants changed or to tell me he is AWAKE, I would get to it before he made such a massive mess. And that would keep me from having to scrub lovely baby streams of you know what off the carpet!! This looks a little inhumane, but if duct tape will prevent such a disgusting disaster that makes me want to add to the mess, then it seems very worth it! I have heard of kids doing this, and I had hoped to avoid it. But on the bright side, atleast he cant climb out of his crib yet...so the damage is atleast contained to a small area. If anyone has advise for this horrendous stage he is going through, I would appreciate it. And no, shipping him off til he is potty trained isnt really an option...though the thought did cross my mind while I was scrubing away this morning....

This sounds just like Tristan! We just bought onezies (sp?) and he doesn't know how to un snap them, but we put on shorts over them, just in case!
I feel for ya!
Gross! Don't you love those special mommy moments...
Congrats on the new baby, too!
I have heard of two solutions- one is duct tape. The other thing you could try is putting his diaper on backwards (if you don't want to do the duct tape thing). It may or may not work, but definately worth a try. All else fails, I would definately do the duct tape :)
