Ever since I found out that there is always some sort of drawing going on to win free diapers (cloth diapers!!!) or other diapering accessories, I have been entering contests left and right. One night while checking my daily enterings I discovered I did have some of the Cordoza luck in me after all and won some awesome cloth wipes. Usually I feel I am the less-lucky of my sisters, they are always winning at stuff like slots or any other gambling--which I now realize makes them sound like big gamblers, but they are not, I SWEAR! Anyway, it was a hodgepodge of wipes made up of different patterns and fabrics (flannel and hemp fleece--which I am in L.O.V.E. with). After that win I kind of gave up on entering other contests because 1) It took too much time to do all the different tasks each contest requested and 2) I would kind of feel guilty winning another contest. So...yeah.
Now, instead of entering contests for diapering stuff I've decided to order some organic bamboo flannel fabric to make my own wipes. So far I have been using the wipes I won as well as extra baby wash cloths that we have an over abundance of. Don't worry, those wash cloths won't be making their way back into the bath tub.
I ordered the bamboo fabric online (because I am cool like that) and and I am on pins and needles waiting for it to arrive at the Post Office. I am trying to decide whether I should leave it in it's natural un-bleached state or maybe do a fun little tie dying project with Ella. The website I ordered it from states it dyes beautifully. Paul voted for leaving it the way it is because he HATES (with all capital letters) tie dye. Paul said it would be appropriate, though, for him to wipe Quinn's little squishy bum (my description, not his) with tie dye wipes because of his dislike for tie dye.
In other diapering news (which I am sure all of you love reading about), we made the switch from disposable Pull-Ups to cloth ones for Ella. She is pretty much potty trained during the day except for an accident here or there, but she doesn't have night time down yet. You are probably wondering why we didn't switch her over to cloth when we did Quinn, and I am wondering that myself. Besides the fact that the pull-ups she is now using look like little mushroom pants on her, which is actually kind of cute, they work great, and I only had to buy four pair because I wash all the diapers every other day or two at most.
On that note, I will leave you with a picture of Ella's and Quinn's unmentionables drying in the sun.
