The Great Cloth Diaper Change

In amongst my intro I mentioned that I cloth diaper...these are NOT your mom's diapers!!!  New brands and styles are here making it easier than ever...I'll try not to preach but i LOVE it...its better for the environment, better for baby and better for your wallet!

Today was 'The Great Cloth Diaper Change Event' (http://greatclothdiaperchange.com/) where people all around the world attempted to set a Guiness World Record for number of simultaneous cloth diaper changes.  We participated at Nurture in Ardmore, PA (http://www.shopnurture.com/) - a great store where we bought some of our cloth diapers - hubby wanted to "see them" before "seeing them" if you know what I mean...

It was great to see so many babies and in cloth diapers to boot! 

Its funny that I get all excited about this considering the last few weeks...DS will be 2 on friday (where did the time go!?!?!?) and is definitely growing up.  His vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds as well as his independence and comprehension of things...
Which leads to the irony of today...about 3 weeks ago, DS turned to DH and I as we were preparing for bed and calmy said "poopoo"...we'd bought a potty so that we would be prepared for this eventuality but thought it was several months away...we asked if he had gone and he replied that he hadn't so we didn't think much of it...but he insisted...so we finally thought to ask if he needed to go...Yes! he replied...
We dashed to the potty that we bought just for him and were surprised when he "produced" almost immediately..  we chalked it up to coincidence and tucked him into bed.  However, much to our surprise, the next night was a repeat. 
We aren't aggressive about this little turn of events, but most nights results in us waving goodbye to something as we flush the toilet...and so...its a little funny and a little sad...I get excited about cloth diaper events just as we might be starting to let them go....

Tomorrow is Easter...we're going fairly traditional for our meal.  But leftovers...ah that will result in some recipes...promise!!
