The Great Cloth Diaper Change - April 20th, 2013 - @ Sweetbottoms

The Great Cloth Diaper Change (GCDC) was fun! I went with my friend Emerald (pictured with me & Jayden) and her son and daughter Kaine and Karsyn. The event was at 11:00am EST and was a worldwide simultaneous diaper change of babies/children into cloth diapers, regardless of the original diaper, in order to break a Guinness World Record.

Jayden got dressed very cute and warm as it was a random COLD spring day...

The GCDC for my area was at Sweetbottoms (link at the bottom) baby boutique which I recently discovered is a GREAT place to find all things natural for baby, instead of having to make the 30 minute drive to Chapel Hill and shop at the birth center. It was an all day event that included baby wearing demonstrations, raffles, and vendors advertising for everything from doulas to sleep training. The GCDC event itself was held in Sweetbottoms' old retail space (pictures below) where moms and a few dads gathered with their diapered darlings.

There was also some entertainment at the store's new and main location including coloring (below) and play areas for the kids and live music and snacks.

After getting home I dug into the goody bags with some good results! Besides coupons to various vendors, there was: baby paper, a nursing cover (really thick and warm feeling like a sweatshirt, in the black bag below), a lactation cookie (yum!), a magnet frame from Moby, and a Bumkins (R) kit that included a diaper cover, a snack bag, a waterproof bib, and snappis.
