My Kid Keeps Taking Off His Diaper!

Born for mischief

How do you stop a 1 1/2 or 2 year old from stripping off their clothes and diaper? I have heard of this happening with other kids but I was unprepared for it to start with my own little one. It started only a couple days ago and he seems to be playing up this little childhood phase with a vengeance. As soon as I put his diaper and clothes back on, they are off again. He begins pulling the straps off as soon as I turn my back.

I put overalls on him to try to confound his efforts to remove his clothes. It worked for a while and then later I found him running around in only his diaper and the overalls were in his sisters crib of all places. However, the diaper was still on so I don't know if getting the clothes off was so exhausting he forgot about the rest or what..

Does every kid go through this phase? What causes it? Can I prevent it in my daughter who will be about this age in another year or so?

Everyone Wants to Touch! -How to Control the Rudeness

Momma!

Once you become pregnant your body is truly not your own. In fact, it sometimes seems as if it has become community property. Everyone feels they can reach out and feel your growing bump, practically before you start to show! This tends to be a lot more uncomfortable for momma before her belly is the size of a oil tanker, but even then, who wants random strangers feeling up what is, after all, still your tummy. Some women don't mind this, and even appreciate the attention to their little bundle of joy growing inside. Many of us feel can feel invaded, however.
