Chairs & Diapers

I got handed down an Ikea table back when I was working at the W Hotel. My friend painted it red with little swirls. Several times I've almost gotten rid of it, even though it has served me well. I have now passed it down to Vincent. But, it has been without chairs for quite some time now. Until this week! I found these cute little plastic chairs at Ikea! The fit perfectly, and Vincent loves them. Yay for Mommy!I recently decided to try out some different diapers on Vincent. gDiapers. They're sort of a hybrid of cloth and disposable. There's an outer cloth cover, and inner plastic liner, and then the actual diaper, which is the disposable part. It is supposed to decompose in 50-150 days. We can throw the wet diapers in our yard waste bin, and flush the poopy diapers. The poopy part isn't much better than cloth diapers, but at least I don't have to wash them (or smell that diaper pail). So far, it's working out pretty well. It is pretty spendy, but I haven't gotten to figuring out how to make it more economical for us, yet. We're thinking we might try doubling up at night time, so we no longer need to put him in a conventional disposable diaper at night. I've actually started to carry these with me for outings as well. They aren't as bulky as the cloth diapers.
