An Ode

Once upon a time there was a girl who swore she'd never cloth diaper. Never. Ever. Ever.

She grew up thinking just those exact thoughts. Always the same, never wavering.

Then she got married.

And had a baby.

The husband said, "What about cloth diapering?"

This little girl, who was now a woman, thought to herself, "Didn't I say 'Never'?!?!?"

Her good friend introduced her to cloth diapers. She showed this new mom the ropes. Told her which brands were the best.

So, this mom registered for cloth diapers. And got them. And had to use them once she had 1 or 15.

The husband relished in the fact that they were saving his hard-earned money. He said that they were even doing their part to help the environment by not creating their own landfill with used disposable diapers.

The husband even said that he would help with the cleaning of diapers, he was that motivated to use cloth diapers.

What else was the mom to do but give in and begin cloth diapering? After all, cloth diapers in today's world are FAR superior to the ones when she was a babe!

After 3 months of cloth diapering, she's o-k with it. She likes knowing that she's saving money in the long haul by doing it this way. She likes knowing that her little guy is getting the best in diapering that she can possibly give him. And the washing and drying of diapers really (in all honesty) isn't that big of a deal.

So, the story has not come to an end, by any stretch of the imagination. No, not in the least. In fact, she's writing this little ode in the hopes of winning even more cloth diapers at the Cotton Babies Free Cloth Diaper Week contest that's going on here!!!
