Diaper Duty
My daughter Mia, who turned one in May, has never enjoyed having her diaper changed. Not even as a newborn. What she does enjoy, however, is running around the house as I trail behind her with the box of wipes and flopping around like a beached fish through the whole changing process causing much more of a mess than necessary. I have probably gone through more antibacterial soap in the one year of her existence than I have in the 29 years of mine. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but seriously, one would think that after doing the same thing five times a day for over a year, one would get used to it-- or at least give in! Short of investing in a lasso and some hogties, I don't know what to do to keep her still long enough for me to remove, wipe and replace. I've tried offering her distractions, singing songs, making a game out of it-- nothing works & I'm fresh out of ideas. Actually, maybe I'll teach her to change her own diaper. I'd like to see her try an run away from herself!

I would love to see her run away from herself as well, so if it's possible, can you tape it and post it next blog?
