Olivia, my sweet girl, has been taking her diaper off lately. Only in her crib. On Friday night, I checked on her only to find her diaper discarded on the floor and Olivia curled up in a huge puddle of urine.
Here comes the bad part. Today, we heard Olivia crying after her nap so Jay went up to get her. Then he calls down and says "Remember what we said our worst nightmare was?"--yuck. I knew immediately what he meant and hoofed it upstairs. Yep, it was NASTY. Diaper (completely dry, mind you) lying on the floor and poop EVERYWHERE. Seriously. Olivia was dirty head to toe and all her bedding and her crib sides were covered. I only hope it didn't get in her mouth!
Jay tossed her in the shower to first rinse off the poo and then put her in the tub to soak the rest off. I dealt with the laundry (just switched it to the dryer and amazingly, it is all clean!). She was pretty upset during the clean up but seems to have forgotten about it.
We decided we have to put her in full zip pj's at naptime and bedtime. Anything else and the diaper comes right off. Now I need to go to Target and see if I can find full pj's that are big enough!
Pibs is not only crazy, she is also gross. Ew.

We have had to do this too. Getting it out of the carpet is the worst. That is funny about the shower, than the tub, we did the exact same thing!
See if you can buy those special Pampers with "kid-proof" pins, or the deluxe model with small padlocks on the pins. They are a little pricey but may solve the problem. Also consider padlocks on the pajama zippers. Pibs is a total piece of work. We will need to keep a close eyeball on her if she comes over :) Love, YerDad
I have to admit, this is one of those disgusting parenting moments I secretly hope all parents get the pleasure of experiencing! Emerson was also a diaper stripper at this age. Forget the zip PJ's, she could get to that diaper. We resorted to duct tape. The best is that you can buy it in all sorts of colors, so she loved to pick out her duct tape color every day! Weird, I know. And, really, I wonder why we have such clothes issues? Our problems started LONG AGO!
We have definitely "been there, done that!!!!" Eewwww! Unfortunately we have had it all over books, carpet, and other not so pleasant places. I have actually taped his diaper once because he didn't want to leave it on. On the bright side, it is an early sign of potty training readiness!!!
Yuck!! However, knowing Pibs I am not at all surprised! Also knowing Pibs, I would make the assumption that she was eating it, she's crazy :-) She will probably lather it up into some sort of a hair gel next! Olivia and Ethan are such different kids, it's hard to believe that they are related. "Don't talk about the poop mom."
wow, another mom with a poo smearing kiddie. hope im not next. jack does like to tug on his diaper so maybe thats in my future. i guess we'll start making him sleep in a straight jacket
I've heard of others using Duct Tape too and having success. That's pretty gross though. Too bad you didn't capture that Kodak moment. You could have tortured her later with it.
Just for your comfort I remember a student whose mom is a nurse say that you can't get sick from eating your own poo, it's just other peoples. Gross all around, I know. But if you were worried about her getting sick.
Funny!! Caleb totally ate his own poo once...and he lived to tell about it! :)
