This is the end of Day 4 with cloth diapers. First of all, we aren't talking about those modern all-in-one cloth diapers. We are talking about those good ol' fashioned white clothes twisted around Isaac's bottom with a plastic cover to keep the poop/pee in place.
On day 1, Isaac had an explosion at Maura Beverly's house. How embarrassing! I needed extra help cleaning him up. It was only afterward that I realized that while it was disgusting cleaning that mess, he hadn't soiled that outfit. The cloth diaper made it look extra gross, but it was actually a little cleaner.
Day 2, I freak out that the diapers are too small. Danielle agrees so I call the diaper lady and ask for the larger size.
Day 3, I go to David D and Lesley Y's house for a "cloth diaper consultation." Besides Lesley lovingly holding Isaac and us helping their daughter Alana feed her doll, we figured out that the small size diapers are actually indeed the ones we want. Later that day, when we're at my sister Nicole's house, Isaac has another explosion. We think that while some adults can only "go" at their home-base, Isaac is the opposite and likes to mess in other people's homes!
Day 4, we leave a voice mail message with our service saying we want the small size diapers.
We've been using about ~8 diapers per day because we're still using disposables at night. After consulting with David and Lesley, I feel better about the service and think it will work out. I certainly feel like cloth diapers are way more adventurous than disposable so I'm sure we'll keep writing about them!
