To my shame, I must admit that I am still smarted than my 2 year old son.
He has developed a new hobby, instant diaper removal...
it is how he "entertains" himself between the hours or 6:00am and 8:00am and between 1:30 pm and 4:30 pm
what makes this "hobby" annoying is that once said urine entrapment device is removed, he then goes on to soil his sheets, and the padding underneath...
This can be a hassle, especially when LOML neglects to wash said soiled bed linens in a timely (immediate) manner. I absolutely abhor the smell of day old urine.
so, I got to thinking, what do I have around the house that would prevent my genius level repeat offender from removing his diaper
he is fascinated by all things mechanical, I will exploit this later in the form of cheap shop help, and lawn care services, but I digress
I have a stapler, but that would only keep the tabs on the diaper from being opened for so long, since the material is quite flimsy
I have quick clamps, but that is just impractical.
I have clear packing take, EUREKA! this will defeat those inquisitive little fingers that just love the feel of that fake velcro on the front of the diaper.
so last night, I applied about 3" of the clear packing tape to the front of the diaper, and almost immediately I had a reaction . . .
from my wife
who was quite distraut that I would tape our son's diaper to him. After about 10 minutes of patiently explaining my devious plan, she relented, and said with a sever tone, something to the effect of "he had better not get that tape stuck to his nose"
no why would anyone think that the nose is the first place that tape is going to go...
guess you have to be a gal...
well, fast forward to this morning, and what do I hear over the baby monitor... that;s right, my son, who is trying to figure out what strange black magic has transformed the front of his diaper from that 30 second oasis of tactile and auditory delight into a crinkling, impentrable, smooth wall of unyielding denial...
Final score, Dad with packing tape 1... Son with overly curious fingers 0
and now for the PAT... I will see to what advantage packing tape can be put to on some of my daugters more annoying habits...
by the way, does anyone know where I can get packing tape with hypo-allergenic adhesive? she has sensitive skin
JUST KIDDING
