Bringing Up Boys

So for the past 2 weeks I have had a struggle with Lucas. When you look at him and ask him if he needs his diaper changed (right after i know he goes #2) he will shake his head no. If i move toward him and ask him again, he will start to cry and go hid behind something. Once i pick him up and start that walk down the hall to his room & once he is on the changing table he kicks, hits and screams and tries to roll off. So needless to say diaper changing time is not fun. I would almost say he has reached the terrible 2's but hes only 17 1/2 months old
