Diapers and duct tape

A couple of months back, I went in to check on Kaylee before going to bed and she was completely naked except for her socks.....no pajamas, no diaper. I sent Lori in to check on her and she came out laughing, but wondering what we were going to do. We tried to put a diaper on but woke her up, which made her mad! So, she ultimately took that one off too. We were awakened about 1:30 am to her crying that she was all wet. Well, go figure. What did she expect? But she is 2, so she doesn't have this cause and effect thing figured out just yet. So, we clean her up and change the sheets on her bed and put on another diaper. This one she left on. This same scenario played itself out for a few nights and we decided to try pull ups. We called them "Big Girl Night Night Panties." They last exactly 3 nights and on the 4th night we found the pull up on the middle of her floor. That night we did manage to get a diaper on her without waking her up. YEAH MOM's! So, we posted on Facebook, and got some responses. One response was from a friend who suggested what they did with her daughter...duct tape the tabs of the diaper so she can't get it off. Alas.....Success. We picked hot pink duct tape and it did the trick. Now, she did not particularly like this, but it worked. So, every night since, we have taped up her diaper and have had no more problems. Until last night......See, we forgot the tape, and sure enough, we were awakened to the same crying "Mommy, I am all wet," at 1:00 am this morning. We will not forget the duct tape again. And she is potty training too, so hopefully this will be a short lived problem. Well, we can't say that ife is boring.
