TIP: CHANNEL YOUR INNER SUPER NANNY
In the past 1.5 weeks, Mallary has taken off her diaper four times. Two of those times (two days in a row) she peed in her crib, the other time luckily she didn't pee in her crib, and the fourth time was yesterday.
Yesterday, she took off her pajamas after breakfast, and then took off her diaper. I put it back on, she took it off. I then threatened with a time out if she did it again. She did, and into time out she went.
I had to put her back in that time out at least twenty times. Seriously. At least. She does not enjoy being in time out.
But, today, after breakfast she took off her pajamas, and has run around in her diaper all morning. No diaper removal stunts. Maybe being put in that time out yesterday finally worked. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
The thing about time outs is you have to be consistent, and sometimes I'm too tired to be consistent. But, I swear they work - if you are consistent. But, let me tell you, after the twentieth time of putting them back in the same place it does make a person want to pull their hair out.
Anyway, if this doesn't work - duct tape is next.

I hear you on the fatigue/consistency thing. I know what I should do, but am too tired to do it.
Can she undo snaps? I've good luck with the pjs that snap at the waist. Also, sometimes our little angel here has to wear onsies still if she's in a "maked" mood. She hasn't hardly tried to unsnap them, fortunately. If she really tried, she probably could.
My favorite is when you pick your toddler up in church, and realize that she's diaper free! Happened with both Sophie and Kate so far.
I don't have any clothes with snaps for Mallary anymore. I remembered this morning while writing this post, that the last poo throwing experience with Trevan when he was about this age, we had one of those nice timeout experiences afterwards, and he never did it again. I don't know why takes me so long to remember these things!!
