No Grandeur Please!


My Aunt Julie doesn't want to be called Grand Aunt. She said No-no, no.
I said, ok ok, you remain as Aunt Julie for Kiki.
2 pieces of cloth diapers have arrived via post a few days ago. We are just testing them out. They are quite fine to use but they don't dry as fast as I've expected. Takes slightly more than a day to dry, maybe there was not much sun the last two days..... Nevertheless, they are "breathable" so that the baby's bottoms are not humid and stinky. Each diaper lasts about the same as a disposable one, the only hassle is that you've got to wash it, but it is worth the trouble (and money) because it is important to ensure that the bums are kept as clean and dry as possible cos a baby has a long way to go before being toilet trained. I've learnt in early childhood teaching that we ought not to hasten toilet training; we have to let the baby wean it off at their pace.
