Well, a year later, we're still dealing with it.
And he's wetting through his clothes during his naps. We now ALWAYS dress him in pj's anytime he sleeps to avoid this. But not just ANY pj's: full zip-up sleepers with a pin (so he can't unzip it). So, you see that this is becoming quite frustrating (especially with him going to daycare again.)
So we've come up with a plan:
"Ollie's Sticker Chart"
If he goes one hour without digging, (you heard me right, folks!) then he gets a sticker. After 4 stickers, he earns a prize (like a penny for his bank, candy, something little like that). Hopefully this will be motivation enough to break the habit. As you can see, he already earned his first tonight! Wish us luck!
And here's a video of Ollie helping me make his "sticker charger", as he calls it.

You have quite a few boxes on that chart! Glad to see your optimism. :-)
Good Luck on this one. I hope the stickers work. We haven't reached a "digging" stage yet, but if we do, at least we do know who to come to for advice :)
so sorry. that does not sound fun. I have heard of other kids having similar issues with their diaper. Good luck. I'm sure he'll catch on.
Good luck! He's a smart kid...he'll figure it out!!
that's too funny. do we need to start a chart here too? do we need pj's? i suppose i better start laying a blanket underneath him when he sleeps again!
We've been through MANY charts for different things- no time outs, going potty in the big-girl toilet, staying in bed all night. Currently we aren't officially do a sticker chart, but they do some in mind that they'd like to start. I'm sure once the baby comes we'll be starting a few for behaviors that don't need to be there. Good luck with your's (Ollie's).

Well, Mason is one and hasn't started this yet...let's hope that's a good sign. Good idea with the sticker chart...we have one going for Taylor to go to bed without crying. I think they really do work well sometimes! If not, there's always the marble jar, the prize bucket, the stoplights, the cheers...etc. etc. You know them all...so surely you'll find SOMETHING!
Good luck with that! Not having boys, I have NO IDEA what you're talking about. LOL!
I love Ollie's cute little voice! The video cracked me up! Great idea with the chart! Good luck!
