It’s my dear husbands birthday today. He’s officially older than me by two years now, just for another week though. Edging closer to middle age is really coming to mind for me lately. I struggle with that “feeling young inside” but knowing I’m getting older, and that it won’t be too many years before 40 and beyond!<\/p>\n
When I was a small child I thought anyone in their 30’s was old. Ha! That’s so funny now! Well, having young children when you are in your 30’s tends to keep you younger. Others my age have teens to adults<\/i> as children. Yikes! We still have diaper duty in the house, and hope for another round or two of them actually.<\/p>\n Speaking of diapers, we use cloth. We didn’t for our first, and I wanted to use them for his second year, just never got to it. Our second baby was over a year old when I finally started using cloth. I’ve never wanted to go back to disposables. Disgusting things.<\/p>\n I mostly use Mother-Ease snap on diapers. They are made from Terry-cloth and are a dream to use. I do have some prefolds, and some Aussie square nappies. These are really neat, but pins are needed and I am not so good at pinning. I don’t HAVE to pin, since we have snap diapers. An occassional pinned diaper takes 5 or 10 minutes to get right. I enjoy them once in awhile. Just once in a while, mind you.<\/p>\n Well baby is getting older and pinning a diaper on isn’t as fun as it used to be. He’ll be two in September. Time sure flies! Yep, back to the “I’m getting old!” ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s my dear husbands birthday today.
