On Thursday, Palesa, Osei and I went to visit Treehouse Learning (my mom's Early Childhood Education Center in Lafayette, Colorado). Osei and I are still figuring out the cloth diaper system, and we're learning by fire... It just occurred to us that when we overstuff the diapers (logically in order to make them MORE absorbent), they are more likely to leak. We learned this lesson dramatically yesterday when we arrived at Treehouse Learning and I discovered that not only had Palesa's diaper leaked all over her pants and onesie, but I was also covered in baby poop from carrying her in from the car.
So, we changed her on a conference table, dressed Palesa in the spare outfit we keep in the diaper bag, and got cleaned up. Less than an hour later, we left Treehouse to visit an old friend of mine (since Elementary school). Julia has a 17 month old daughter, Zena, and is expecting her second daughter in the next few weeks.
We arrived at Julia's house and discovered blowout #2. Another pair of pants and onesie too dirty to keep wearing. Luckily, Julia has a closet full of baby clothes, and generously lent us an adorable little outfit.
Zena is very excited to be a big sister and really enjoyed getting to meet Palesa, and we enjoyed our visit with Julia.
