We had a playdate this morning, so Preston was extremely tired when I put him down for his nap. He almost fell asleep in the car during our 20 minute ride home. Well, I put him down, and went up to check on him 1/2 hour later. He had pooped. I didn't want to leave him sleeping in it, so I proceeded to change him (I have been able to do this while he still slept, but dh wanted to watch and he jinxed me, because Preston woke up). I changed him, told him it was still nap time and left the room. He has now been up there for an hour, talking and playing to himself. UGH! I should have just let him be.

No you shouldn't have.  It's better to have a short nap than to get a rockin diaper rash!

Agreed.  Can you put him down a little early tonight to make up for the short nap?

Better to change it.  He probably would've woken up earlier than normal anyways if you hadn't.

Sam was up there playing for 30 min or so, so I went up there to tell him to go to sleep and he was naked.  Just hanging out in all his glory, playing with his cars.

I think I am the minority on this one, but the boys wake up with poopy diapers almost every single morning and have since they were infants. I NEVER wake them to change a poopy diaper..although I also wouldn't know they pooped until the morning bc they STTN. But I def wouldn't if they were asleep at nap time bc I know they would not go back to sleep!

LMAO! He is hilarious!

I'm just glad it's not me that has to deal with him tonight. Poor Irv!

You did the right thing.  I did that ONE time with DD #1 and she had blisters for days until I finally found a cure.  NEVER again!
