Where I Make a Plug for Cloth Diapers

Where I Make a Plug for Cloth Diapers, originally uploaded by kidsideup.

I love Jack's cloth diapers. If I had known how great they were when Emma was a baby, she would have had cloth diapers too.
There are about a million reasons for doing this:
1. Jack has REALLY sensitive skin. More than a few paper diapers at a time and he has a small rash. I even get the brown chlorine free ones and he'll still get a small rash.
2. If you're environmentally conscious, they're great. I know you're using more detergent and more water but it's nothing compared to the waste from paper diapers. A good friend of mine called me the day after watching something on 60 minutes about landfills and tree cutting and how much one child in paper diapers contributes to that and started asking me all about cloth diapers. I've converted three friends, so far...
- No, I'm not crazy. I don't roll my eyes at people for using paper diapers, I also don't think you're a destroyer of the planet or anything, it just works for me.
3. Cleaning them isn't a big deal.
(Mike just read over my shoulder as I was typing and said, "I thought you were going to say that cleaning them was a big deal because your husband doesn't help at all, he draws the line at cleaning cloth diapers and watching Sex and the City.")
Isn't he hysterical.
Anyways... I live in the playroom and the laundry room (Mike cooks and does dishes) so one more load of laundry that I don't fold is hardly noticed. Both my friends Aurelie and Heather have nicely folded and put neatly away diapers. I have a basket...where they're tossed.
4. How can you resist something with names like BumGenius, Fuzzi Bunz, Rumperoos, Baby Kangas and Happy Heinies?? I mean COME ON people!
And lastly, can you see the pattern on those little Fuzzi Bunz he has on now?? Why would I ever put him in pants!
