There is some big “professional” wrestling event called “Hell in a Cell”.
It’s where a bunch of morons wrestle in this thing:I have my own Hell in a Cell.
It involves this:
Oh, she looks innocent enough, but changing her diaper SUCKS.
Somewhere between 15 – 18 months, all my kids inexplicably went from not minding having their diapers changed to completely hating it and waging an all-out war to avoid it.
But this one is off the charts. And she’s about 8 months ahead of schedule.
Changing Number 7’s diaper has now evolved into an event worthy of a pay-per-view special.
Talk about a shitstorm.
In order to successfully get the job done, I have had to master the following moves:
The Glam SlamI use this move to get her onto the table. If that doesn’t work, then I try this:
The Samoan Drop(that’s my black, bald doppleganger).
Next, to keep her in place, I go with Hell’s Gate.
On the occasions when she manages to escape, I use the crippler crossface to get her back down into submission.
If that doesn’t work, I go for the Lebell Lock.Note that this position is equally painful for both participants.
In some extreme cases, I need to tag team her and I go with the Ghetto Stomp/Cop Killa.
Gotta go. I need to practice my new move — The Rear Naked Chokehold/One Handed Poop Wipe Ankle Lock Combo.

Changing my Number 1’s diaper was just as hard. I had to stop changing her on the changing table and do it on the floor. I would be sweating by the time I finished and sometimes I had to ask my husband to hold her down so I could get the diaper on. Sometimes we thought we were on the verge of child abuse, because we pinned her down so hard. I feel your pain!

I think I’m going to start potty training pretty early with this one…

The biggest struggle I had with my daughter was trying to keep her in the top of the cart at the grocery store. Every time I reached for something, she tried to jump out. One day grandma joined us and somehow made her cooperate with “the look.”

I think it is a WWF to all moms when it comes to putting diapers on for their baby. My husband just laughs at me when I started to use my hands and legs to lock up my 15 month old girl just to put on her diapers and its always crooked here and there coz of the constant movement and as a result a leaky diaper is what I get coz it was not fasten properly and hence it leaked :(( But I resort to diaper pants now and so it takes less arms and legs wrestling with my girl 🙂 Good luck with the wrestling technique practice :)) Saw your blog from Top Mommy Blogs 🙂
