DD is 18 months and has improved somewhat, if that makes you feel any better. For poop, I take her into our very small bathroom, try to wipe off as much poop as I can while taking off her diaper, then wipe her backside by standing her in front of me. I lay her down to do one final wipe, then let her run free for a while before snagging her to toss on a diaper. Singing DOES work for her, thank goodness. To the tune of Camptown Races "Bea doesn't wanna put her diaper on, doo-dah, doo-dah, but she has to do it anyway, oh-doo-dah-day!!!!!!!" The other thing that works - smelling her feet and telling her how stinky they are in a very dramatic way. I've also found that when nothing else works, just being silent and getting the job done as quickly as possible gets the best result. Trying to sing, entertain, etc. really just prolongs the experience for her.Â
