A friend of mine is having a baby in a month or so, shower on Sunday, and a mutual friend just emailed a bunch of us with her shower gift: set-up and one month's delivery for a local diaper service, with the service's phone number and the family name and account number in the email, so anyone who wants to can kick in. So frelling brilliant!
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

cloth diapers are supposed to help in faster potty training.
Is this because the tots are sitting in wee rather than having it absorbed into a regular diaper? Just curious.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Sigh.
We took Em to school today. She was ok most of the day but got cranky toward the end of the day and she was coughing and she had gobs of green out her nose.
Sigh.

Sort of, disposable diapers today pull all the wetness away from the skin so they don't feel the wet and miss the pee = potty cue that they would probably get from cloth. That's why the Pull ups today stay damp. Of course, if you have a kid who couldn't care less, then wet or dry doesn't matter (yes, my son was almost 3 when he finally started using the potty because he couldn't be arsed to care)
Edit: Oh Aimee, poor Em (poor you guys)

Sorry about Em, Aims. I hope she feels better very soon.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
My nephew was like that, Dawn. I think he was 3 1/2 before he began caring about wet or poopy diapers.

What is even happening?
What Dawn said. I think Pull-Ups are better served for sleeping time, and maybe the first couple of days of potty training. After that, I used underwear. Generally kids are more reluctant to soil their underwear than Pull-Ups.

Oh it was horrible, thankfully the daycare was private and they didn't care but oh it was a nightmare, because he knew but yet? Didn't care. He was way too busy doing other things. He's 9.5 now and he still puts off going to the bathroom till the last possible second because he's busy doing other, more important things.

Oh yeah, that worked wonders with the oldest. She got new pretty undies and that's all I needed to do.

Dawn, my brother was the same way. He just didn't care. Ew, dirty boy.
