In Preparation for Cloth Diapers

I moved the changing table into the bathroom, where I think it should always go. I am so lucky to have a bathroom that will accommodate a changing table. It should also make things easier for cloth diapering, since it will be right next to the washer. That way, if something dreadful happens, I can just throw it all in the washer and not deal with it.

I've been wanting to move the changing table into the bathroom for a long time now, but today I finally had the motivation required to make it happen. It looks great in there, I think, and soon I won't have to deal with the menacing diaper pail. There isn't a ton of room left over for the diaper pail, unless I move all of the clothes hampers into my bedroom, and I don't want to do that because none of Michael's whites would ever make it to the correct hamper. It's already a struggle getting his other clothes to the hampers as it is now. (Maybe if the other two are in our room, though, it will be easier? Cross your fingers.)


Oh, and I will get the real changing pad cover back on the changing pad soon--it just had an unfortunate accident.

I'm hoping that putting the changing table in the bathroom will also help with getting ready for potty training (or potty learning--whatever I'm supposed to say). I don't know that it will, but it will at least keep Rock's room free of potty smells. And that is worth it.

I am just so excited about the cloth diapers. I'm going to start washing them tomorrow or the next day. Not having a dryer is going to be a little bit of an issue, but I know that the extra work will be worth it in lack of waste thrown into the landfill.
