I don 't know if you have noticed but Mommy, Daddy and Hayden all use the potty, that's were we put our poop. That is where its suppose to go. Now I know that you are not at this stage yet but it is coming soon.
Quinn and Claire let Mommy know when they have poop. They climb right up on the table and say, "Yuck Poop!" But you, you my busy boy, just sit in those diapers so long that you get a nasty diaper rash. Your bottom has been shades of red that I didn't know existed.
Now this brings me to actually changing your diaper, it is a battle! You have always been one that does not stay still during a diaper change but as you have gotten older and stronger so has your fight.
I just have to ask, why do you fight so? Do you like to sit in these diapers? I can't for the life of me understand why.
If you keep this fighting up and in turn sending the poopy diapers flying across the room, I am going to teach your older brother how to hold you in a half nelson or at the very least I am going to have him sit on you while I change you.
You may not like this idea but you see I don't like getting kicked in the face or the chest and I most definitely don't like cleaning poop smears off the floor.Love,
Mommy

Oh yeah, you need to nip this little habit in the butt right away!
i love this. can i make a copy of it & give it to mine???? lol
Diapers flying across the room? Yikes!
I need to write a letter to Pickle about her soaking wet diapers (and pajamas and sheets and blankets) EVERY single morning!!
I just wish I could train X to bring me a diaper when he needs a change. He's fully capable--he just chooses not to.
Stinkers, all of 'em. Literally!
Yay! Thanks for participating!
And also, your letter was very well written and to the point! I hope Jake reads it and reflects thoughtfully on your requests to cease the poopy wrestling...
Oh yikers!! I HATE toilet training!
All the best with that :S
Well I think you told hiM!
Well I think you told hiM!
Now tell me, did he listen????
Well, I hope Jake reads this and take note.
I feel your pain.
Rowdy pooped his pants until he was4.
Yeah. I know.
I wanted to shoot myself.
Way to break it down for Jake ~ Mom! Telling it like it really is is the only way to go when it comes to that potty!! ;p
I hope it works. I hear you on the shades of red that you never knew existed. Its nice to know that we are not the only family with a child with a weird, red, rash covered butt.
Does it help to know that you can really embarrass him by telling these stories to his teenage friends (and dates) years from now? Good luck!
Ah, flying poopy diapers.
Gotta say I don't miss that AT ALL.
Thank God you're a nurse, and poop is just a daily occurrence in our world. I'm sure you'd like a little less of it on the home front, though.
Good luck.
I remember those days far to well. What is that with not minding the smell or sitting in it?
It must be something about the name Jake. My Jake is a handful and right now, pooping is a big joke to him. Sigh...or maybe it's just a boy thing.
OOOh gosh ... do I feel your pain on this ...
BOTH boys have always fought diaper changes like MAD...
luckily they won't sit it in because I smell it right away.
I don't envy you. Potty training both my kids was a nightmare!
I have similar issues with my son.
Good luck!
EEW, bummer. AT least he is extremely cute!
Ha Ha ha what a cute letter! He might not be happy about this when he gets older! He will learn soon :)
He is just too cute!
so funny. Boys, they can be so stubborn with the poop thing! Ha!
And oh, the kicking with the diaper change...my sympathies. NOT FUN!
Hang in there Mama!
Oh my! I am there with ya! I actually have to lay my leg over his body to get a diaper changed.
funny post!
Best wishes to you and Jake regarding this issue - hopefully you can come to a peaceful resolution soon! ;-)
keep this letter for blackmail during the teen years :)
I have a fighter, too, and all I can say is I feel you. Let's pray they give up the fight sooner rather than later.
My son used to fight his diaper changes too. I tried to distract him with all sorts of things but nothing worked. I finally had to put one leg over top of him to hold him down and just get the job done as quickly as I could. I really don't miss the toddler stage at all. I like him a whole lot better at 9. LOL!!
amen!! can i just copy and past this letter? i'll just change the names....
This is so well-written, I can't imagine that it won't get the desired effect! :)
My son was fairly easy - every time I went to teh bathroom, I made him go with and sat him on the little potty next to me and we read a book. I was drinking a lot of water, going to the bathroom a LOT and it was like he had just invented time travel when he actually went (accidently or not) in the potty - he learned to really love potty time.
Good luck!
