sleepy bum

This morning, Odin had a pretty full nappy which left him feeling a little crankier than usual. My first step is to nurse, nurse, nurse. That didn't work so I sleepily took his diaper off to change him and he rolled right over and fell asleep. Just like this. 

I'm glad he notices when he's wet. I remember when we chose to cloth diaper, one of the reasons was this. The ability to feel the wetness encourages them to want to potty train faster. He's only just turned one and I'm not expecting it to happen anytime soon but I can see it in the future. What are your experiences with potty training and cloth diapers?

Papa's little boy:

wild

My wild boy, lover of outdoors. In the evening when it's time to come inside from a day of playing outside; he sits at the window while mama makes dinner and watches while the bees finish their work for the day, the birds sing their last songs until tomorrow, and the sun says night night. With the oncoming summer's warmth, we've been playing outside first thing in the morning and I'd like to think that Odin spends his nights dreaming of trees, garden beds, papa, and his mama.

summer's light

Sheets in the wash, warm summer light. 

It's getting warmer every day, this morning Odin played outside in just his nappy and he had the best time. I can't wait for a bare baby bottom to run around our yard and the beach all summer. <3

play

My little darlings. Odin loves having a friend over every day! It's nice that these two are at the same age, and that they both are thoroughly content just playing with toys. <3
