Zuul's no longer content laying still for a diaper change. The arsenal of toys and random items off the change table no longer preoccupy her. I don't know how to put a diaper on a moving child.
And to think, I complained about the first few months. At least she was an immobile lump then.
Subversive Dad started the challenge. Yes, I'll blame him. It's just easier to have a scapegoat. He informed me that he leveled up is the toddler game by performing his first diaper change on a standing toddler.
Not to be outdone, I stopped making Zuul scream by trying to keep her pinned down and attempted this myself. Now we created a monster. She thinks it's a game, and she's winning.
I admit, 90% of the time now, I have no idea if her diaper is secured before I wrangle the rest of her clothes on her. Disaster is imminent. The last diaper change, it was nothing short of a miracle that nothing leaked as one fastener was on her sweatshirt rather than her diaper, leaving it half dangling in the breeze.
So, I need pro tips. Is there anything else I can do to get her to stay still for a diaper change? Or should I just let go and let god?
Oh, and she's taken to biting knees now too.
The tide has shifted. No good can come of this.
