For the past couple days, amid a million trips with Orren to the potty, helping wash ten tons of disgusting Army gear for turn in, and trying to make sure a certain little girl doesn't feel all neglected, I have been getting ready to store away Orren's diapers until summer, when the new baby joins us.
Now, some people say anything over a couple dozen diapers is extravagance. I say these people have never made a cross country move with a cloth diapered baby, and they probably haven't been cloth diapering long enough for their baby to grow out of much of anything. My stash of cloth diapers, I haven't counted in a while, but it's in the triple digits. Don't worry, that's not nearly as expensive as it sounds. The majority are prefolds. I've been boiling, and stripping the diapers with dish soap, and sunning out stains, and just getting them into the best shape I can so they can be as nice as possible for the new baby. Doing all that to this many diapers is work, though!
The good thing is that at least there are no sandstorms today. That would be about the only thing that would really throw a wrench in these plans. The sun is best at removing stains, so we're definitely relying on it today!!
