Okay. 1. I think it helps to use punctuation because that was really hard to read. Either that or you are just really freaking out. 2. Just calm down. I am going to assume that you took the class and now you are preparing for boards. If this is right then my question is how did you manage with the baby before? I know this is easier said than done but you may just have to study when the baby is sleeping or playing or just chilling. Just stay focused.
I kind of don't know what to say but hopefully you can figure something out or maybe someone else has got a better idea.

breathe mama. i have a three year old and a three month old and it's tough. right now I have my three month old wrapped on my back and I'm sitting on a yoga ball bouncing. Try babywearing, for my kids it's the only thing that lets me sit and read/study.
Also you can 'practice' some skills somewhat on a little one even if there fussy, that's what I did to study for first aid/cpr:) And remember as a mom, you're all ready an expert at brief changes...

Just read your skills manual and involve your daughter and have her be the patient and practice with her since you say she is a little distracting and making it hard to study. The only thing you really can do is read over the skills and practice doing them hands on because if you dont know it by now then chances are doing all that extra studying won't help much. Although, I would study for the written part of the test because that seems to be the more difficult and most failed portion of the exam for some people. Good luck to you and let us know how you do!
