Dirty Diaper

Several months ago we decided to start using cloth diapers for our boys.  We started by ordering 6 Sunbaby diapers.  My first few days were a little tough with leaks and wash after wash of diapers at night.  By the end of the first week I was exhausted.  When I finally figured out that cloth don't last as long a disposables  things got a lot easier.  So we placed a second order and have now been cloth diapering both boys 99% of the time for about two weeks.  I can't say that I love it as it seems most other cloth diapering mamas do but I don't mind it either.  Washing diapers every two nights and doing 2 plus loads of laundry twice a week makes for a lot of laundry and a lot of going up and down stairs.  We are hoping to potty train Elias in the next few months so that should help.  All in all I really like Sunbaby diapers and will continue to cloth diaper.

Gardening 101

Thanks to some help from Elias we have peas, carrots, raddishes and lettuce already comping up and green beans, tomatoes, squash and watermelon left to plan.  I was surpassed to find my first radishes ready to pick a few weeks ago.  I have mostly killed plants in the past so planting a 20x20 garden was huge undertaking for me.  Elias loves to help though.  I think it's his favorite place to be when he goes outside.  Every morning he asked if we can "check the garden" which entails severals trucks, tractors, wagons and yard tools.  It's been a lot of fun so far!
