Oh My Goodness, We're Back Again

I know I've been missing for awhile, but there has been a lot going on int he word outside of Blogger-Land. I desperately miss blogging though, so plan to pick it up again as much as possible.

Aside from all the other stuff that has been happening, my son's potty learning has been going wonderfully! We never have potty accidents anymore! Once we learned that he preferred to pee standing up we had it! It was our Golden Ticket moment! We are not as successful at going poo in the potty yet, but that is not to say we're not trying REALLY HARD! He's only in diapers now for nap and night times and if we are going on a longer day trip where frequent stops at a potty aren't an option. I am optimistic that we'll be 100% out of diapers (except possibly nap and bed times) by the end of the Summer at the rate he is going.

No Diapers. Period.

Hello everyone! I hope that everyone had a wonderful Halloween and is busy preparing for the upcoming holidays. I haven't had much fluff news lately. It's a busy time of year for us first of all, and then of course there is the very exciting potty news!

So Sorry

I am so sorry that I haven't been on lately. We were having some family issues and this week our dearest 16.5 year old cat, Shamrock, has been very ill. We think it might be her time soon. :0(  As I am sure everyone understands, family and real life comes first, but I did want to post an update so everyone isn't completely in the dark.

A Fluffy Fourth

I certainly hope that everyone had a fantastic 4th of July! I know that we did.

I started off this weekend by getting my son some of his first name brand diapers...Fuzzi Bunz! I got both the Sure Fits and One Size to try out before I order more. I will end up doing a review to talk about them later. I could easily fill an entire blog talking about them, and I want to give them my full attention. All I'll say here is that they are so soft I wish that my undies were made out of that stuff!

I Wanna Do A Giveaway!!!

Imagine me stomping my feet and throwing a tantrum that would make a four year old proud! That's kinda how I feel right now. I really want to make this a great CDing blog, and I want to help other new CDing mommies that are finding themselves in the same boat I'm in...they really want to try CDing, but they aren't sure what diapers they might like and they aren't sure or don't have a good place to buy them...and they don't have the money to buy a bunch of them either.

Have I Mentioned...

...how much I love cloth diapering! I think I have become addicted. The only stumbling block in my road is that we are still building up our collection, so we aren't CDing 100% of the time yet. We got another diaper in the mail today! Yay! It's a very pretty dark green, and I love it! We have 3 more that should arrive this week too, though I still need more.

We Need More Cloth!!!

We need more cloth diapers! Right now we don't have enough to cloth diaper 100% of the time. We have some more on order, but I very much want to try some different brands and styles and what not. I've entered several contests and giveaways, but haven't won anything yet. Right now I'm playing the waiting game...again...

Today Is The Day!

Today is the first day we are trying cloth during nap time. I haven't had a leaking issue yet with these cloth diapers, so I figured I might as well brave nap time. I'm only using one insert, so hopefully he'll wake up dry. I'm not sure when I'm going to brave cloth at night, but I am sure we will need at least 2 inserts. He is a very heavy night time wetter.

Cloth Diapering: Day One...Conclusion

Cloth diapering day one went great! Parker really seemed to like them, and despite him having runny problems today, he wasn't red at all at the end of the night.

Cloth Diapering: Day One...Again...

Well, after the disaster of an experience last time we cloth diapered (using pre-folds, diaper pins, and plastic covers) I wasn't sure I wanted to do it again...but I had some great friends that convinced me that I should try. After all, pre-folds aren't the only cloth diapers out there! So, we bought some one-size pocket diapers on e-bay and decided to give it another go. Today is day one of our cloth diapering experience, and even though we are only about half a day in I can already say...

Guess What We Got Today?!!!

Guess what arrived in the mail at our house today?!

Now We Play The Waiting Game

I am not exactly what most would call a patient person. Once I've decided to do something or start on some new adventure, I'm ready to do it now without any delay. Now that we have made the decision to cloth diaper I am more than ready to pack up all our son's sposies, give them away to our friends with children, and start diapering his bottom in our new environmentally, baby bum, and mommy friendly diapers!

Under Construction

I am currently working on making this blog a great place to come for information, conversation, and (I am sure) laughter on my journey as I attempt to be come a cloth diapering mommy! If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please leave a comment for me. If you, or anyone you know, would be interested in this blog, please follow me on my journey!
