Paige and I will be participating in the Great Cloth Diaper Change again this year and even better we don’t have to travel very far this year as there is an event being held locally in Oshawa. Last year we had to drive to the west end of Toronto. I am not complaining though as they had some great vendors and we picked up a few great items.
Last year saw 256 locations in 15 countries with 8,251 participants change diapers simultaneously which meant some countries were changing in the middle of the night. This year they have changes it to be 11:00 am local time which is much better I think. Let’s see if we can beat last years record!
This year so far there are 182 hosts in 11 countries.
Be sure to check out the links above to see if there is a location near you registered, and if not if you are interested, why not set up an event. Will you be participating this year? If so, I would love to hear where you are participating and how it goes?
Ok, first I know it has been ages since I actually updated my blog. Time has just been flying by since I have been back at work. It is hard to believe that Paige is already 18 months. How she has grown and changed over the last 5 months since I last posted. It has been a winter full of colds, flu and ear infections. I am sure most mom’s can attest to the sleepless nights that first winter after going back to work, but keeping our fingers crossed that now that the warmer weather is arriving that this cold & flu season may finally be over. Also the fact that we are pretty much through the teething phase I would expect shall make a big difference as well.
The last 2 weeks Paige has been transitioning up to the toddler room at her daycare and that has not gone as smoothly as we would have liked, but I think things are finally sorted out and I don’t have to be worrying to much about my little girl!
Paige has become so independent and we have seen her grow by leaps and bounds. The last 6 weeks have been especially big with so many changes coming at us. Our little girl is growing up.
