Dressing a Squirming Child

Let me tell you how difficult it is to dress this kid! He used to just lay there and smile as I changed his diapers. Then, he realized, "There's something down there, and it's fun to yank on it!" So, every diaper change was me moving a roving hand. Which is especially nasty when "number 2" is involved, because that roving hand tends to be covered in it! Then, of course, the hand has to somehow touch me, so it ends up involving an outfit change for two people.

And, if you are like my mom, you allow the little firehose to remain open to the air a little two long, and end up getting sprayed. I have the routine down to really really fast, but she just takes a tad too long adoring his cuteness and BAM! One day, he managed to pee all over her, the open container of diaper wipes, ten diapers, and his Christmas outfit that was sitting on the counter. It was quite a feat!

He has been trying to flip over while getting changed. If you aren't watching, a half naked from the waist down baby will be taking off away from you, just dangling away - happy as a clam.
