Cow Pictures

My dad gets magazines about beef cattle in the mail. He started "reading" them with my nieces and they were a hit (looking at the cow pictures mostly). Jaron has also enjoyed them when we've visited my parents. 

He's been an absolute terror when it comes to diaper changes lately. He's a tiger unleashed! I had the idea to pick out some of his favorite cow pictures from these magazines to hang above the diaper station, kind of like dentists have in their offices. Maybe this would keep Jaron calm long enough for me to strap him into a diaper.

Success! 

The last time we visited the farm, my dad tore out pictures Jaron seemed very interested in. I just hung them up this morning and Jaron was immediately interested in what I was doing. He was a little irritated I hung them up; he wanted to look through them! 

He also kept craning his neck to see them after they were hung. The first diaper change worked like a charm! He spent the whole time smiling at the pictures. Afterwards, he kept cranking his neck to look up at them, so I showed him how to lie on his back to see them easier. It wouldn't surprise me to find him on the floor later staring up at them. 😊

Those dentists are really on to something...

Here is a closeup of the pictures Jaron chose:
