Potatoes and diapers

The new diapers... On the left an Under the Nile fitted diaper and on the right a eco baby organic cotton dipe.
The inserts or doublers for extra absorbency
Cranky Keira needed distractions while I made calzones for dinner.... my tub of spatula's did the trick
Of course then they were all over the house....

Playing with the potatoes

New slippers
But mom I don't want anything on my feet!


As usual the order of these pics is all messed up!! Another rainy day called for a plan of action.... This morning Keira amused herself with a bag of potatoes she found under the sink. I figured it was harmless enough. She did of course carry them all over the house and when she was done I had to go searching all over the house for stray potatoes. Luckily I am saving them for a crock pot dinner so I knew exactly how many were in there and how many to look for! After Keira's am nap and a quick lunch Keira and I headed down to Nashua to shop at this awesome store called Mother and Child. Its a consignment store for kids but it also has new stuff that's sort of related to all natural mothering type stuff... Stainless steal sippy cups, slings, lots of breastfeeding stuff, wooden toys, cloth diapers and tons and tons of used clothes, toys and baby equipment at good prices.
I bought Keira a pair of slippers for 3.00 ( see pics) Lately she has been taking off her socks every time I put them on.. and being that we have only wood or tile floors they are COLD. When I first put on the slippers she couldn't get them off and she threw a tantrum!!! LOL Its probably because she has been in sandals or barefoot all summer and now doesn't want to wear shoes.
I also bought some diaper inserts or doublers for extra absorbency and 2 cloth diapers. So there are literally hundreds of different types of cloth diapers. Ranging from cheap (1-2 dollars a dipe) to midline ( 10-13 dollars a dipe) and high end fancy ounces- 16-30 dollars a dipe). All the ones I have are cheap ( 2.00 a dipe) today I bought 2 mid line ones. They are super soft and look pretty absorbent.. They are the Velcro kind so no Snappi or pinning type of device is needed. Looking forward to trying them out!

Those new diapers do look a lot more fancy than the other ones, can't imagine what the high end ones look like! Jo was also obsessed with cooking utensils today. She opens the drawer on the bottom of the stove and takes out allllll the frying pans and alllll the utensils. I always put them back in just for her to take them out again, i think we did that like at least 10 times today haha. Love the slippers! When Jo was like 10 months old I bought these slippers on sale at Old Navy that probably won't fit her for another year haha

I keep our potatoes on a baker's rack type thing in the kitchen. Well, Samantha thinks it is her duty, every day, to take out a potato and take it for a walk!
