Every once in a while, not too often, I hear of someone who is using cloth and who is tempted to return to full time disposable diaper usage.  I think I can understand why.  There’s the convenience.  And… that’s just about it.  Convenience.
Since we started using cloth full time almost two years ago, I’ve only [...]

In lieu of having something else to talk about (I’m still kicking around my nighttime diaper post… it’s coming!), I wanted to do a Dave Letterman-style top ten list of why I love cloth diapering.  Surely, I have more than ten reasons, but these are a few notable notions.
