Looks & Stares

Every time someone realizes that my son is in Cloth we get a wide array of comments/looks etc. My favorite was "Is that A Pampers cover?" Most moms say wow I could never do that or isn't that gross.

But I am a firm believer in optimism and good karma so I always act friendly and educational. Today it rewarded me.

We were in a store near my home (all 4 boys and I) and a woman noticed Marcus' cute Sock Monkey Just Ducky Baby diaper peeking out of the top of his yoga pants and commented "aww those are cute shorts" I smiled and responded "thats actually his diaper" she looked straight shocked. "YOU USE CLOTH, I have never heard of people in the states using cloth. That is AWESOME. Where do you get them" I responded that i sold them she asked me to please give her a card because her relatives all used cloth and she would love to get more.

I returned home tonight to a message on my work phone:
"Hello My name is XXXXXX, my sister advised me that you were a cloth user and sold them. Please call me back as I need to get the next size for my son. But also please keep doing what your doing- the more behinds in cloth the better"

That was my smile for the evening- it feels so good to have support in my advocacy of cloth.
