There is something very satisfying about taking the cloth diapers out of the dryer or off of the clothesline, folding them and getting them ready for the next day. It reminds me of when she was a newborn and I was folding all her onesies and bibs and burp cloths on a daily basis and putting them away neatly.
Now that she's older, I don't have a daily load of laundry to do for her, not that I should be complaining about that...but I like folding her little clothes- it reminds me of how lucky I am to have this amazing little human being in my life!
I know that it's just one more thing to add to the list of things 'to do' but I feel good about it. We won't be contributing one hundred diapers(or more) per month into the local landfill and even though we may not be singlehandedly saving the planet by making the switch to cloth, I like to think that every little bit helps.
Plus, I consider it practice for the second baby! :) It will be a good feeling to do cloth from the very beginning with the next baby.
