First off, I need to address that we are rather unflinching when it comes to cloth diapers. We've probably purchased disposable diapers three times in the last two years. We feel pretty special about it, until of course we don't have any clean cloth diapers on hand, nor any disposable diapers as a backup.
Today was one of those days where all of Michelle's diaper covers were in the wash, and the diaper she had on was, how shall I phrase this, soiled to the point where putting it back on her would have been abusive. So instead I thought it would be fine to have her run around without a diaper on until the diapers were clean.
To back up a little bit, we've been passively trying to potty train our daughter. Her little training potty is out and about, and when she expresses that she needs to "pee-pee" we encourage her to sit on the potty. She is great at sitting on her potty for about 2 seconds, but will never ever let out a drip until she has a diaper on. I marvel at her ability to hold her pee for as long as she does. She won't let out anything until she must.
Today, there was just too much time between removing my daughter's diaper and the diapers getting clean. She sat on her potty probably 17 times, but never let out a drop. She finally made her way to our bedroom and decided that would be a more appropriate place to relieve her bladder. I guess daddy deserved that one.
Someday soon, she's going to decide that peeing on the potty is actually much better than peeing either in a diaper or on the ground. I'm hopeful. Though I confess that there's few more satisfying things than peeing on the ground.
