LOVING Cloth More and More Each Day!

   Throughout the day when I go into my son's room and not instantly be taken back by a pile of stinky diapers, I LOVE cloth more! I think so many people think leaving a pile of diapers in a pail waiting to be washed would smell more. Nope! It doesn't ;). The poop gets flushed down the toilet right after a change so no more smell from it. The urine on the diapers doesn't stink anymore than urine on disposable diapers. The better smelling room isn't what I LOVE the best though!
   The thing I LOVE the best about cloth is going into my son's room in the morning and not having a baby in soaking wet PJs ;). I also love the fact that I am not pulling the sheet off of his crib daily. I think pulling his sheet daily was adding more laundry for me to do than washing cloth diapers a few times a week.
    In addition to the lack of smell and less laundry, I also like how colorful the diapers are. I enjoy seeing all of the different colors and patterns. Most of our stash is a little more practical since I have only been cloth diapering for about 2 months, I focused on getting some basic diapers first (like Econobums, Flips, and pockets). I look forward to adding some fun prints too!

Google+ Cloth Diaper Community

     Google+ has recently started a new section called 'communities'. They have communities for a variety of topics, including cloth diapers :)! My hubby is the one who first told me about it. I am more of a user of Facebook and was unaware of Google+ communities until he mentioned them and sent me a link to the cloth diaper community. I knew I love him for a good reason ;). Nothing like encouraging my obsession!
     I have also started a private (you have to be invited) community for parents of children with developmental delays ages 8 months- 3 years old. Please contact me if you are interested in that community. I ask you all to be respectful of the fact it is STRICTLY for parents of children with developmental delays ages 8 months- 3 years old. Thank you!
