Don't get me wrong I'm not ready to throw in the towel on my fluff and restock myself with nothing but impromptu diapers . But this fast wash and dry time is nothing to shake a finger at.
But I have been entertaining the thoughts of giving these kinds of diapers a home in my stash. First in need to destash a little for charity.
So when I last left you I was trying out a blanket on Lyric as a night time diaper option and I happy to say it passed that test with flying colors!
I couldn't help but smile the next morning to find my lovie little punk dry and happy waiting for me in the morning these past couple of days.
Some of you may know from personal interaction with me that my son Lyric is a Super soaker!! I have bought many of diaper looking for the right one to combat soggy mornings. And to think a blanket something I have an abundance of ,Complements to our near 3 month stay in the NICU this year and do to ordinary burp cloths being inadequate with a baby with reflux (thank you Zurich mommy loves you Mr bubbles) was all it took to wake up dry.
It is however a little tug at the heart string in the morning. When I go to scoop up Lyric for my morning mommy hug and he points to his tower( no no I'm not braving about my fluff stash size :P . His diapers are really stored on a tower near his bed) of fluff and signs "Please" then tugs at his make shift diaper.
My baby misses his fluff or so I tell myself.
Really this has just been a part of our daily routine. Lyric loves to eye his rainbow of fluff and pick out which to wear next.
Pulling at his diaper is just one more clue that he is wet and as I dry a wet eye, One more sign that my little boy is growing up.:(
Just days before my challange began Lyric was given his first big boy potty chair.
I'm not sure why but this saddened me a little to think of my son growing up so. Entering the next step in his development "Potty training"! Was it his growing up , or the thought of there is no way I can get away with buying as many fluffy fun diapers once he is potty trained? I'm not 100% but for whatever the reason I just wanted to squeeze him just a little tighter at the thought of him being a big boy.
(Lyric investigating his new potty chair! Maybe I don't need to worry just yet he don't seem to interested in sitting on it ;))
Where does this leave Zurich and what's this got to do with blankets? I'm getting to that.
Zurich has taking to the change very well and I am very excited that his wool is an amazing cover .(more info in future blog)
Even these flats and make shift diapers are no match for this little super pooper! I think this challenge has been most enjoyable with Zurich. Due to his smaller size I have been able to experiment more with different folds. I have not been as quick to experiment with Lyric due in part to his size and being a active toddler that he is, I have kinda been sticking to the path of if it is not broke don't fit it! I have been luck to find folds and things to diaper him that work from the starting line and don't want to mess that up.
This brings me to blankets. I was sharing today via my "fluffy butt channel " I lovingly call it on one of my favorite iPhone apps a photo of Lyric and his fancy pants blanket diaper. When I was asked just how I did it. So I put together a little photo how to on the Origami Flats fold using a receiving blanket as my flat.
Enjoy!!
