For a few weeks now, our little man has been sporting a super-sized butt, thanks to his new cloth diapers. They are actually surprisingly easy to use, quick to wash and don't leak like the disposables did! They are made by bumGenius and you can check them out here. 
We figure that we would have spent roughly $450 dollars for a year's worth of diapers. 18 of these cost $305 and they'll last as long as Gus is in diapers (obviously more than a year) and maybe even into the next child (the "next child" part is still under debate). In addition to the monetary savings, we're also keeping A LOT of nasty diapers out of the landfill. Yes, there is additional water and detergent useage, but we believe that is an easier problem for the environment to solve...especially because we have a front loader.
So, yahoo for being thifty and environmentally friendly:)
Just don't mention the size of his butt to Gus. He doesn't take it too well.

I'm glad you're liking the diapers. Way to go. I bought a bunch more for "baby brother" since Joanna hasn't had enough interest in potty-training. Two diapered children...here we come. Can't wait to see you sometime. Sarah Ward.
