Today the cutest little package arrived in the mail. The box contained Junior's first set of diapers! We will be using cloth diapers and, as you can see, these aren't your old flat diapers that fasten with pins. We bought a dozen Happy Heiny's pocket diapers. We started with the extra small size (HH calls them "tiny heiny"!) and will buy a few BumGenius all-in-ones to round out the set.

This means we'll be running a load of laundry every night, but it's definitely worth it for the cost savings, environmental reasons, and, most importantly, for our baby boy's health. Over the course of his diapering years, we'll save more than $1,000 buying cloth diapers instead of disposables. These cloth diapers will keep Junior drier, minimize diaper rash, and they contain no harsh chemicals or dioxin next to his sensitive little bum.

Of course, Jeff's diaper picture is more creative
