Day 204

Another day in disposables. BUMMER! With working all day I couldn't hardly ask family to take care of Annie AND cloth diapers. Joe is home tonight with Annie and I KNOW for a FACT that there will NOT be any cloth diapering going on while I'm gone. Can I blame him? The other night I was washing out a poopy diaper in the toilet thinking I really need to get some liners to flush for the poopy days. So here I am again thinking to myself how wonderful the cloth idea was at first...could it still be wonderful? Or is it only wonderful in theory not practicality?! We shall find out in the days to come... stay tuned!

Day 203

WOW... we made it... over 200 days of EC. Okay okay perhaps it wasn't constant EC but a valiant effort for sure. Today was our first adventure out of the house in cloth diapers. We went to Nana and Grandpa's for a play date with cousins. I know what you're thinking, that was hardly an adventure but being anywhere away from home and the comfort of our diaper pail IS an adventure! Annie did GREAT... no leaks, no poops, and no pee... in her cloth diaper.
Me on the other hand TOTALLY SCREWED UP... I went to take her cloth diaper and switch to a disposable for nap time (she wakes up the minute she wets her cloth one and doesn't get a good nap in)...Well she was dry. SO I proceeded to place her in the disposable diaper and forgot/neglected to take her potty. I should have taken the time to take her to pee. When she woke up from her 2 hour nap Annie was soaked through to her clothes with Pee. Poor thing was holding it in her cloth and trying to get me to take her potty. Sorry Annie... next time I'll actually be on top of it and take you!
Next step... an adventure out and about... not at a house!
Stay tuned...

Day 195

Boy oh Boy... I haven't blogged in a VERY long time. I'm so sorry for those of you who keep checking this and... nothing new.
Summer seems to take over at our house these days. We are loving every HOT day and trying to keep Annie cool and shaded.
Cloth diapers are slowly being integrated into our lifestyle although Joe is NOT thrilled about them. To tell you the truth, I don't even know if I'm that thrilled about them... but I bought them and I'm determined to get thrilled about them! Hindsight is always 20/20 right?!
After weeks and weeks of having the cloth diapers I have only used them a handful of times. Which to me seems like a waste, but I keep telling myself that I'm easing into them. Annie does a LOT better with EC while having a cloth diaper on. If I know we aren't leaving the house I try and keep Annie in cloth ALL day.
I guess I'm learning a lot and could write a couple pages, but since I've been out of this for over a month I'll write more tomorrow!
Stay tuned... this will get more consistent... I PROMISE!
