Cloth Diaper Photo Shoot

Our little girl did some modeling this past week for a cloth diaper company.

I gotta say, I've been a strict disposable diaper gal (hmm, that doesn't sound quite right. Ah, I don't wear the diapers...) but the cloth diapers ND modeled were surprisingly nice.

The woman who owns Green Mountain Diapers has a new one coming out that is super soft. She said it reminded her of petting a cat. I think so, only a freshly bathed and dried cat, it was so soft. I could barely feel it on my dry hands. She had these specially made for her company with the mom in mind, but we quickly discovered when ND kept scrunching them with her hands that babies will love the feel of them, too.

Here's some photos from the session:


(These yellow ones below were the super soft ones. See her grabbing the material? It was the only time in the session she laid still for an extended period of time.)









And what were my young boys doing all the while?




Playing Star Wars, of course!

These light sabers are as real as you can get. No plastic cheapies here. The handles are heavy and feature a real light-up saber. When you turn on the switch, the light zooms up the saber with the classic electric saber sound. When they hit each other, they make a zapping noise just like in the movies. Very cool. I don't think we'll buy any for our collection, though. I'd probably wince every time they played with them. Let's just say that the parents of these fab toys purchased extended warranties. The cloth diaper business must be doing well.

Thanks to this session, I'm impressed with modern cloth diapers. With 8-10 loads of laundry a week already and no storage for stinkies, though, I'm sticking with traditional disposables. (Yeah, yeah. Cloth diapers are traditional, not disposables. I'm working on it!)
