Cloth diapers

Have I ever said before that Marsi is huge?  I am sure I have with her being exclusively in 3T clothing now and randomly 4T.  This means that our one size (OS) fuzzibuns, OS Blueberry, OS Alvababy, size1 and 2 OS Sunbaby diapers all got too small for her massive legs a while ago.  I stuffed her into them longer than I should, but the poor red marks on her legs consistently starting to get a rash made me make a choice; potty training, disposable diapers or another investment in larger cloth training diapers for big kids.

I went with potty training first while using disposables.  Big, epic FAIL.  She is so not ready.  Nothing I did, no treats or incentives I tempted her with gave her any interest in the potty.  So, we started buying disposables.  After I bought 3, yes only 3 large boxes of them I rolled my eyes and said WHY? She isn't ready to potty train.  I can buy a whole stash of cloth diapers for 3 months worth of disposables.  Marsi isn't going to be trained in 3 months.  It just isn't going to happen unless a huge miracle strikes.  So, I bought the stash.

Yes, I am a nerd.  I am excited to get Marsi back in cloth!  I am sick of literally throwing money away.  Even with the cheap diapers, it is too expensive.  So, I have a newborn stash, baby stash and toddler potty training stash for up to around 45 lbs. Marsi even saw one of her cloth diapers and was begging me to put that on her instead of the disposables.  She knows what feels good on her tush!
