My 2yo son has taken to stripping himself down and removing his diaper in the wee hours before my wife and I (mostly just me) get up and started. Upon entering the little monsters den, I am more often than not greeted with the smell and sight of the most recent artistic attempt to make poo an accepted medium. We've tried to teach him that its unacceptable and gross via the show and tell method, but he's just barely two. Go figure. Besides that, we've tried to prevent him from the whole mess before hand by putting him in overalls before bed and more recently tried to get him in the habit of not taking off clothes until we have a bath or some other need-to-be-naked time. The overalls worked okay at first but he's so dang smart that he figured how to get them off by the fourth night. Anybody have a suggestion to quash the poo renaissance?

Um.. Duct Tape?

Some type of one-piece outfit that buttons up the front, put it on backwards. If he can figure that out then you will have your retirement set as he is the next Houdini!!

I saw this on tv just before he goes to sleep duct tape his diaper, then put a onsie on him, then over that another one piece outfit. Seriously I think this was the only that worked for this kid.

Duck tape is the only solution I can think of as for now, I think it would really help.
