I Thought I Had Suffered Enough (Gabrielle)
Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! Most of you will not care one bit about what I am about to say! I have an announcement to make. In a fit of absolute idealist madness Crystal decided to put Justice in cloth diapers. At this announcement I felt the foundations of my world start to spin. No, my heart cried, Anything but that. But wait, there’s more! In a further fit of madness she decided to put Noah in the cloth diapers we discovered fit him better than they fit Justice. That is correct, folks. We now have two, two, two, children in cloth diapers. Go ahead, ask me how many cloth diapers I have changed. Correct!! The very first cloth diaper I ever changed was last night when Justice screamed through the whole thing, almost wiggled his way off the changing table and then Crystal had to redo it because we were both pretty sure his bottome shouldn’t look four times its usual size. I just now put the very first diaper on Noah and I have already started to pray that I did a good enough job. If I didn’t the results could be catastrophic. Be afraid, be very afraid. I have yet to stick a child with the pins, but I believe that to be merely a matter of time. This brings to mind a quote from the book Dune. ‘You who know what we suffer here do not forget us in your prayers.’
cloth diapers rock! rest assured, the bum IS supposed to be four times it’s ordinary size when freshly diapered. henry hates cloth dipes which has propelled us into potty-learning mode. but jude doesn’t know any better to have a diapering preference so he spends his days looking like he’s wearing a tutu until it’s time to get completely dressed.
::thumbs up:: it’s tricky and seems insane at first but it’s really rewarding to know that you’re diapering your baby in the best way possible. hang in there! ::fuzzy::
From the “It Could Be Worse” notes - a friend of mine used to make her own cloth diapers, because she didn’t like the quality of the material of the ones available commercially.
Hopefully, Crystal won’t read this.
my SIL makes some of the most wonderful fuzzi bunz knockoffs ever. they’re compact and pinless and really oh so cute. oh, and did i mention that they’re pinless!
you can get all kinds of cloth diapering info at the diaper hyena.
