I have a mouthy sassy 7 year old boy that acts the same way… here’s to hoping 8 is better?

I wish my son ate more! I thought he would be a big eater since he’s a boy but alas, no. He’s extremely picky and often refuses to eat at all.

We eat dinner as a family and I have a simple solution for being the “gopher.” Just. Say. No. I do, and it works!

Using a bit of humor. Try “Please look, but don’t touch.” Or turn the tables and say, “You can touch my tummy if I can touch yours.”

Sorry but that is too funny. Jared asks for food constantly and I never (EVER) leave home without our “snack bag”. Plus we have granola bars in the car’s glove compartment for real emergencies. Our driver insisted on that after he listened to a 20 min tantrum one day when we didn’t have enough food.
As for the family dinner, shame on you ! LOL. It gets easier. I put everything on the table (and Jared likes to pretend to be the waiter and help) and then we sit down. If you need anything else, you have to get it yourself or wait til I am done.

We have had the opposite situation with regards to the CD/disposable at night debate. I think I need to up the inserts, especially in the BGs. With Evie in bed with us, it is really a pain to change the sheets in the middle of the night. I think I will give it a go when she is finally in her own bed, which I hope is soon.

I did try the LoopyDo when I was trying the CDs on Sam, he would wake up soaked with CDs. Those worked like a charm. I only have one, but hope to get more soon. They are so trim, but absorb so much. It is amazing.

Cloth diapers are an addiction. LOL Especially when you see so many cute ones that you just have to have.

Congrats for making it over to the “dark side” now you can enjoy the cloth diaper addiction with the rest of us. LOL

We have used almost nothing but cloth diapers for our baby since she was 1 day old – she is now 13 months. She and I were both really sick a couple of weeks ago and she was having horrible, nasty, tummy flu diapers every few hours. I finally caved and put her in a disposable for the night. I woke up next to a VERY wet baby a few hours later.

I put her in a clean disposable diaper, and clean pajamas and went back to sleep. In the morning, again, a VERY wet baby with wet pajamas. Same thing the next night.

I was SOOO very happy to go back to using our cloth diapers with hemp inserts. We are back to waking up in a dry bed! Most moms tell me similar stories, cloth is often more absorbent at night than a disposable because they are adjustable.
