Poopcicles

Adeline is more than 10 months old now and Joel and I have become accustomed to being parents. One of the chores that we have worked into our lives with baby is that of washing diapers. I don't even notice the extra loads anymore. It's just all very routine. Joel does his share too and to be honest I find stuffing and folding clean diapers in the evening kind of relaxing, the bright colors stacked on the couch in fluffy rows. However, anyone who is thinking about making cloth diapers part of your routine I have one new piece of advice for you:

Don't leave the used diapers from daycare in the car overnight when it's 4 degrees outside. The resulting diaper ice cubes are a challenge to un-stuff and wash. They will undoubtedly be covered in pee frost and filled with frozen poo which may sound like it would be less offensive but trust us. It's not.
