Let me just say that this was really hard to photograph, okay? Even if my camera’s auto-exposure circuitry still worked, this would have been a rough shot. We picked up a fresh batch of cotton prefold diapers for Crumpet and, I don’t know what kind of experience you have with these, but they arrive roughly as soft and cuddly as pinecones & birch bark. Jen ran them through the washing machine half a dozen times to turn them into cloth and the way you test whether a diaper is ready is to pour a bunch of water into it and make sure it (the water) is quickly and completely absorbed by the diaper. These images are my attempt to capture Nora performing that test.

Crumpet has the best family ever. Who else would make sure that the diapers were soft and ready to wear?
ah! sorry, I should have been clearer. These are just the face wiping and general utility diapers. The bottom-protecting diapers arrive today, though!
