Diaper dandy

4/8/10 Twelve cloth diapers and three diaper covers, sold for $60

The little boy is getting bigger. He has officially outgrown the smallest size of cloth diapers and we have moved on to the next stage. Our small set left with Joanna's friend Lori who, despite the $60, is getting a heck of a deal. Those cloth diapers are expensive!

In the long run, of course, using cloth diapers is cheaper than buying diaposables and a whole lot more friendly to the world. I can't imagine throwing out a dozen (or more -- this guy knows how to do his business!) diapers every day. That's a type of downsizing I'm happy to avoid.

By the way, for those of you who may protest that cloth diapers aren't all that environmentally friendly, either, since water needs to be used to wash them, here's a little factoid for you: more water is used in the production of a single disposable diaper than for washing an entire load of cloth diapers.

Hey, we shouldn't downsize water recklessly, either.
