A few days ago I was changing Nathan’s diaper with Gregory looking on.  I happened to mention in passing that Gregory used to wear cloth diapers too and Gregory thought this was very interesting.  ”Gregory wear cloth diapers?  Wear cloth diapers like Nathan?”  I asked if he would like to try them again rather than his disposables, and he said yes.  (well, actually, he said “hegg” which means the same thing)  I didn’t have any covers in his size at the apartment, but I knew where there were in storage and thought I would get them soon.  Gregory proceeded to ask me about them every time I changed his diaper for several days, and today I got the covers out of storage.

When I changed his diaper this evening, Gregory was at first excited about wearing cloth diapers “just like Nathan”.  After I put it on though, he wasn’t quite so sure about the idea.  He stood up and looked like a cowboy who’d spent way too many hours in the saddle.  He tried an experimental waddle around the room and looked rather uncertain.  He touched the diaper somewhat hesitantly, then patted it and said “it a bit fluffy”, at which point I couldn’t hold the laughter in anymore.  He didn’t seem to take offense, thankfully, and he seemed to settle down to it before too long.  

I’m really hoping that he will tolerate them this time (after all, I’m almost out of disposables!) and that it might give him more of an incentive to try potty-training soon.  We shall see!
