Woolie-Boolie

 

Lil doesn't wear many pants because she's got those fluffy cloth diapers padding her backside.  She can't fit into most pants her size with that big bum.  I am fine with her wearing dresses all the time, but there are a couple staples every girl needs in her wardrobe.  For one thing, I can't live without a good pair of white pants for the spring and summer.  The ones Lil is wearing are actually wool interlock diaper covers. Yup, that's right.  It's like taking long johns to the next level: ugly underwear transformed into cute outwear.  These are from Green Sprout Baby, a mother-daughter diaper crafting team in Long Island.  I know, we're going into summer, she's a growing baby, blah blah blah.  But when you consider all of the good things about covering your baby in little lambs, you'll understand why I'm turning Lil into Lil Bo-Peep: 

• Wool is an all-natural, renewable material.
• It's soft and breathable
• It's super absorbent, anti-microbial, and
• Wool helps regulate body temperature, so it's good any time of year.

So there you have it.  And like everything Lil wears, when it's done right, it looks good.  I'm sure these are just the first in a "longie" line of woolies for Lil.
