GCDC

Great Cloth Diaper Change event was today, this morning at East Park Community Center. It was sponsored by a number of organizations focused on children, in particular cloth diapers. A main sponsor & how I learned about the event was Smile Mommy! the cloth diaper service we used for Julia & now use for Jacqueline. They started the cloth diaper service 5 years ago here in East Nashville, the year before Julia was born, & I am so grateful. Really awesome to have the event & business in our community too! 

GCDC event is national for sure, possibly international, & the goal is to have as many people at a certain time change a cloth diaper at the same time. There were quite a few people there, though strangely only 1 other Smile Mommy customer whom I'd met before at a La Leche League meeting. Overall it was lots of fun on a rainy morning & I enjoyed seeing the variety of folks & the children of various ages & of course some breastfeeding moms (lots who were using covers, so interesting). There were some great door prizes one of which I won! Gift certificate for 1 month of Stroller Strides and a box of mini Luna bars in a flavor I like (awesome!).  I didn't think I was going to win anything & then I needed to feed Jacqueline & I thought "of course, now I'll win something" & then it happened, right after she latched on, my number was called. So funny really because the woman calling the numbers saw me react & get up & not unlatch the baby & retrieve my prize! She apologized & I said "that's OK, it was my good luck trick!" : )

Looking forward to GCDC 2013!
