Charlie is almost 2.5 years old (wow!) and lately, he's been getting upset in the mornings when I change him. Well not every time but sometimes when I change him, he will demand that I put the "yucky diaper" back on. I assume he means that he doesn't want a fresh diaper, but instead he wants me to put back on the used diaper that I just took off (by used I just mean that he peed in it at some point)..

Usually I go through the charade of "changing" him back into the exact same fresh diaper... but sometimes he can tell (not sure how, maybe the "yucky diaper" is still warm or maybe he can just feel the texture change). It's really quite traumatic, but eventually he calms down and all is well again. Sometimes this can take 20 minutes though, so I'm hoping someone has an insight here into what might cause this and how to address it.

Does your LO ever ask you to put an old "yucky" diaper back on? How do you deal with that
