really posting this for
kitestream --i'm cutting and pasting from a private entry i did this weekend...
i got my period yesterday. my first one since i got pregnant w/violet. she's 13 1/2 mos old now.
i saw violet yesterday as like the cutest girl in the world. she was wearing these baggy dark evergreen sweat pants, an orange halloween shirt w/a mummy on it and her cute espresso brown with blue and lite green dots vegan shoes. (isabooties.com) and no onesie underneath, so her chubby little belly was hanging out. couldn't have been cuter. i was just picturing her as a teenager. briefly, very briefly.
and at otto's tumbling class yesterday morning, i heard the teacher's teenage daughter's saying how cute otto is. otto doesn't like people watching him when he's doing new things--is he a little shy or i dunno yet. it'll be so interesting to see how his personality turns out to be.
i think i can finally get fully into the cloth diaper. i tried one of the overnighters justine gave me AT NIGHT finally w/two of the good quality unbleached cotton diapers she gave me and it worked fabously! i liked the results so much better than the disposable. i wish i had tried it months ago. oh well, i've still got probably a year or so to go. better late than never! anyway, violet looked truly so much drier and cleaner down there this morning and there weren't any of those gel balls or whatever they are on her skin. and i think i have 4 cloth for otto. if i really keep up on the washing of the diapers, perhaps i can not have any disposables around. i was just talking to otto the other day about getting a plastic sheet for his bed and for naptimes start w/trying to go no diaper at all. of course going pee right before nap. i'm not excited by any means about having plastic under my sheets. for various reasons.
