You dream of washing diapers......seriously.....that's what I was dreaming last night.....and carrying my car up a flight of stairs that happened to be in the middle of the road.....not sure which is more strange.

    When your mom who lives 6 hours away sends her coworker to you via fb for cloth diapering info. To be fair her coworker is a girl I went to high school with. They're nurses.

    Yes! The sun is like magic and it's always fascinating!

    I've done the diapers to work/converting friends and coworkers thing, too. Do people find that annoying? 
    They asked me about it.

    You use the word sposie. The only parents I've ever met that use the word sposie are the ones that cloth diaper.
    It's just that the description "disposable" is so appalling to me.  Somehow "sposie" makes them sound a little less bad.

    You smile every time your toddler helps with folding diaper laundry and hands you a wipe or an "insewt." (And then you refrain from screaming when he knocks over your precision-folded stack of wipes.)

    In the past, I've had to run after my daughter several times to get inserts that she stole.

    She also liked handing me everything in the basket (as quickly as possible).  I may have given her some diaper hats during this process.

    When you don't really care if the toddler messes up the diapers or wipes because if they get dirty you can just wash them. No $$ wasted!

    When you find out someone is having a baby - first thoughts are oooo will they CD?!?! Then pretend shopping online filling up the cart with thing for future baby (and yours! Since you can never have enough!)

    When your husband doesn't even question that new diaper print releases will result in more cloth diapers.

    And @kountingsheep‌ I totally do that - especially if we're going in the car. My greatest fear is a car seat blowout!

    You're excited that one of the great things about having twins is justification for buying more diapers for a larger stash.

    When you're out at Target and need to use the disgusting and germ-infested changing table in the bathroom…and after scrubbing with half the pack of Wet Ones wipes you just take out a FST and use it as a clean layer over the table. It's small enough to jam into the wetbag, unlike maybe a receiving blanket used for the same purpose

    Instead of asking for clothes or toys for your newborn, you ask for cloth diapers and wet bags.  And your family takes your addiction seriously and actually gets them.

    Yes! I'm seriously thinking of asking my mom to get cloth diapers for A for Christmas. She'll do it too!

    I actually told them the brand, style, and color/print I wanted.  I gave them a list to pick from and several sites that had free shipping on any order.  I think that helped them a lot and avoided confusion.  Plus I told them that he would be wearing them a lot longer than any clothes that he would get (which is true, an outfit may only fit 3 months, diapers could fit for 2+ years).

    Oh, and bummed about potty training also because there's no need to buy the new Simplex prints (not that I could probably get them anyway).
