One I stop posting, it starts to feel like I shouldn't post until I have something really momentous to say. "You've barely posted in months, you didn't write about X, Y, and Z, but you're going to make a post about trivial topic q? Really?"

That's a large part of why I never restarted Respectful of Otters. I couldn't let myself just post sporadic small things - I couldn't restart unless I was going to make significant posts on a regular basis. With the first one super-awesome-earthshattering, of course, to make restarting justifiable.

So the hell with that. If I go ahead and post a few random trivial things, maybe the spell will be broken and I'll be able to start writing again.

Random trivial thing of the day:

You can easily tell by looking at Colin how many days it's been since we've done laundry.

First day of clean laundry: green and grey striped hoodie.

First few nights of clean laundry: moose hoodie PJs. Yes, he sleeps with the hood up.

Second day of clean laundry: orange hoodie with raccoons on it.

Third day of clean laundry: grey hoodie whose hood doesn't stay up very well, but it is partially redeemed by having a picture of a bulldozer on it.

If Colin is wearing an item of clothing that doesn't have a hood, it's been at least three days since we did laundry. Simple as that.

I'm specifically wondering about keeping them dry, not clean per se. :) We do 2 layers of diapers, and I sneak in at 11 most nights and change my son while he sleeps, and he still manages to wake up wet half the time.

And then wants to sit on my lap, of course.

I had one child like that, one who only needed a diaper overnight, and the current one stays dry as long as she's changed at midnight and about 8am. For the first one, we started using baby sleeping bags as an extra layer of absorbency. We also found cloth diapers better than disposables, because they were easier to layer up, though she ended up sleeping on a tilt a fair bit of the time.

Hmm, I might try putting a cloth diaper over the disposables, for an extra layer.
