Cloth Diapers at Target and Walmart

It would be so great to be able to get cloth diapers at a big chain like Target or Walmart. Here in my city we have one very small and very limited store that sells cloth diapers. It has limited selection, and limited hours and many moms and dads just don't know it exists. I think that many more people might be at least willing to consider the idea of cloth if they could SEE the covers, Snappies, and diapers. I know that for me it was really hard when I had to buy everything sight unseen over the internet, with only pictures to look at. I was unemployed and pregnant at the time and had nothing better to do then spend hours researching what diapers to buy. Most people don't have that kind of time. Cloth can be very confusing for a beginner and it is even harder to try to pick what you might like (pocket diaper, prefolds, all-in-ones) when you can't even see them. Then you have to pay shipping too. There are many places that the only store around is a Walmart. These people are (most likely) not going to drive way out of there way to see some diapers. Think of all the money it would save people to put their babies in cloth!

Toddlers and poop

Life with a toddler is never dull. In fact it can be quite stressful. I used to work at a daycare were we primarily took care of toddlers and I loved the job. I thought toddlers were just "so fun!". Then I was a nanny to three girls 2, 4, and 6 and that was also "so fun!". Now I would describe toddlers as just "so stressful!". Right now my son loves poop. Now I know there are plenty of toddlers that do not like poop but I was lucky enough not to have one of those lovely children. Lately he thinks it is so funny to poop in the tub when he is getting a bath. I was doing laundry in the other room one day when I hear a splat! I come in and he is slinging handfuls of poop on to the floor. Then there was the time that I look over and my son is putting his finger in his butt and then putting it in his mouth! Or when I came in to his room one day (this was a while ago) to find that he had taken off his pants and diaper and was dancing all over his poop on his crib mattress. It took me an hour to clean that up. My son is a really sweet boy but there are some days when I just want to say "wake me when it's over".
