Happy Birthday Sawyer ~ you are the most fun loving little guy.. we love you so very much!
I have been dreaming about sewing cloth diapers for about 7 months now but honestly didn’t think I would ever do it. I told Scott I wanted a snap press for Christmas so we bought one on ebay. It had to ship from China so my gift didn’t arrive until March. Once it was here I couldn’t just let it sit.. so I tackled what I thought to be impossible and now I can’t stop sewing! Every night after Ava goes to bed I have a hot date with my sewing machine! Scott has been so nice, he encourages me to sew every night and always seems impressed as each diaper gets better and better.
This is a pocket diaper (blue one) and a fitted diaper.
Here is Ava modeling the first diaper I made before I put the snaps on. She’s so adorable!
We went to a Thai restaurant over the weekend. The meals are huge so I didn’t order anything for Ava. I just figured Scott and I would share our food with her. When our lunch arrived, Scott put some of his rice on Ava’s plate, and I gave her some noodles and other veggies she usually likes. She turned to Scott and I and said, “Where’s my food?” We pointed to her plate and replied, “that’s your food.” She replied, “this is YOUR food!” We kind of ignored her and continued to eat. She ate bits and pieces off her plate. When the waitress came to see if everything was okay, Ava looked up and said, “Where’s my food?” The waitress thought she said, “where’s my friend?” so she told Ava how cute she was and that her friends weren’t there. I was so proud of Ava for being brave enough to ask a stranger for her food but I also felt really bad for not ordering her something of her own. We’ve learned our lesson, Ava!
This picture has nothing to do with the above post. It was taken on St. Patrick’s day at the Brick Oven Beanery. Ava decided to eat Nana’s dinner instead of her own!
