so... i'm a bit of a crazy mommy.  we've been trying EC - "elimination communication."  i'm not trying to potty train z, but just am trying to cut down on poopy & wet diapers.  we got him a toilet seat & a little potty.  i place him on his potty immediately when he wakes up from naps, & he usually will pee.  when i get really lucky, i sometimes catch poops.  sometimes he'll give clues that he needs to go after being up for awhile, and i'll make some "catches."  often not.  anyway, along the same subject... i've noticed that he's a lot more mobile when he doesn't have the huge bulky cloth diapers on.  he loves playing with his feet when not diapered, so i've let him go diaperless a little bit (if he's already pooped for the day).  i was in fred meyer late one friday night, and was walking by the baby section, so i picked up the smallest size underwear they had.  they're spiderman undies that glow in the dark.  i figured if i was letting him play diaperless, at least undies would catch a stream of pee, instead of it going absolutely everywhere, and would make it easier for him to play while diaperless.  he still needs to work on his tummy time & flipping/turning....
