Cloth Frenzy

After anxiously checking my mailbox each afternoon, I finally received what I'd been waiting for. Remember in the movie "A Christmas Story," when Ralph checked every day for his Little Orphan Annie decoder? That's how I felt about this. It's crazy that I would be so excited about getting a DIAPER in the mail!!!

So far, we've used it twice. Both times were at night and we had no leaks. In fact, when I went to change him, his little bottom was completely dry, even though the inserts were sopping wet. The diaper really seems to keep the moisture away from his soft skin, which I love! Best of all, he doesn't smell like urine in the morning when I first pick him up out of his crib. The diapers seem to contain the smell really well. I ordered a whole set this morning, so I'm excited to receive them and really get started on this cloth adventure! It seems that I'm running into more and more moms who use cloth and love it -- who knew?!! If you're interested in more information on cloth diapering, you can visit Cotton Babies, or Building Cathedrals, where they've been having discussions on the topic.
