…how do you keep diapers on a buttless nudist-wannabe two year old?

We’ve tried preventing access to the diaper by dressing him in one piece outfits and overalls…but he’s such a skinny and long kid that he just slides his shoulders out between the overall straps or pulls at the onesie until the crotch unsnaps.

So I resorted to duct tape on the diaper, but he’s taken to wiggling out of the diaper, duct tape and all. (Even with me wrapping the whole waist of the diaper with a layer of duct tape as tight as I dared.)

I don’t think he’s ready to potty train, more to the point *I* am not ready for potty training and all the mess and focus and extra effort (and laundry) that entails.

But twice today the kid has removed clothes and a clean diaper, wandered (TWO ROOMS OVER) to the nearest patch of carpet, and pooped on the carpet. Oh, but the second time he also apparently followed this up by sitting on the couch and wiping himself with a guest’s shoes.

I am almost out of carpet cleaner and patience. PuhLEEZE tell me there’s some solution to this I haven’t yet thought of!!
