goodbye

Goodbye cloth diapers.
You were really easy, fun and earthy for the first 6+ months, but now...not so much.
I can't do it all and cloth diapering was just becoming lower and lower on our list of Important Things. Actually, it plummeted as soon as we saw how cheap diapers are at Costco and realized how difficult it is to attach a cloth diaper on a baby that is in constant motion.
I feel like a schmuck that I'm not cloth diapering anymore, but I don't have the $$ to make an investment on some good quality cloth diapers so the old, crappy ones we had were constantly leaking and falling off of her. If money wasn't an option, I would have bought a dozen Bumgenius All-in-Ones and that would have lasted us until Piper is potty trained.
I guess I sorta feel like I'm admitting defeat? Yes I want to save the environment and all of that. But I can't do it all and it was just becoming too much work.

Ahhhh. It feels good to get that off my chest.

Don't waste your time feeling guilty about this when you should be feeling guilty about sending my daughter the Barbie 12 Dancing Princesses DVD. We get to watch it EVERY SINGLE DAY and a costume change into a tutu is required.
