So it was Day 6 of the challenge. Yesterday's handwashing went fairly easily. I did a large bunch of diapers first thing in the morning while the little guy was eating his breakfast and put them out on the line. They were dry by lunch time. I washed his morning diapers at lunch and hung them out. It was a gorgeous day -- clear blue skies, low humidity and plenty of warm sunshine. Perfect weather for line drying diapers.
I put him in his g-Pants when the babysitter arrived. She fed the kids supper and then gave the little guy his bath. I laid out a pocket stuffed with flats for her to put on him and then I changed him into his night time flats and wool longies when I got home.
So flats can even work for a babysitter. If I were going to have a babysitter often and I was using only flats, I would teach her how to use them. For last night, the pocket worked just fine.
I did notice yesterday that he leaked through a few times. I don't think I was changing the diapers any less often than the earlier part of the week so I'm not really sure why. Maybe he just nursed more. It wasn't a big deal and not something that couldn't be fixed by adding another flat, but just an observation.
We have decided that we are going to go on vacation this summer to the mountains of North Carolina. We probably won't be camping, but we will be away from home and without a washer and dryer. So I will most likely be using flats and handwashing again. I plan to get another dozen flats before then, as well as knit him at least one more pair of longies and probably 1 or 2 shorties. I'm not sure yet about the 8 hour drive to our first stop, but I have plenty of time to figure that out.
Now if only we had skies like this every day!
