the old college try

 
that is what i gave cloth diapers.  i even installed a sprayer/bidet on our toilet
because i thought that would make it less disgusting.  i was wrong.
 
i bought 10 cloth diapers with the goal to use a hybrid of cloth and disposable
diapers - only using the cloth at home.  i know a few who use them and really
like them, so i picked their brains, did some research, and bought a few
to start out.  just to see if it was something we would actually be willing to do
before making a large investment.  i took the plunge when richard went out of
town for work, and after two full days of cd's i came to the realization that no,
i'm actually not willing to do them.  bidet or no, i just won't do it.  i'd rather
add to the landfill than deal with spraying runny, mustard-colored turds into
the john every other minute.  not to mention the leaking.  woof.
 
what it boils down to is that we've got a few cloth diapers in case of an
emergency.  but i can't think of an emergency that would be better solved
by using them than just making a quick trip to the store.
 
this was the first cloth diaper we used, and by the look on his face i think
he knew it was a joke.  by the look of the diaper, and my gag reflex,
i should've known, too.

Oh man! I'm sorry it didn't work out. I don't think I could do it either.

Well, you are braver than I am for even giving it a try. The look on his face is so funny, her seriously does look like he's saying, "Yeah right, Mom"
