Diaper Changing

You would think that 16 months into parenthood, I would be an expert on changing Katie's diaper, but I'm not. Some days you can say "Katie, do we need to change your diaper?" and she will go get a diaper and lay down in front of you ready to be changed. Other days its a major battle - usually because she doesn't want to be still. On the bad days, I have found that toys are a great distraction technique. Though toys only last so long.
Last night after her bath she was getting squirmy so I gave her one of her black dress shoes to play with while I finished getting her diaper on (it was the first thing I could grab). She decided she wanted to wear the shoes, so I put them on her feet. Then, she refused to put on her pajamas because she wanted to prance around in her pretty shoes. Nothing quite like a baby in dress shoes, a diaper, and heaving lotion on her chapped cheeks. I'm saving these for the baby books!!! :-)
