To those who believe that the First Ammendment, giving a separation of Church and State, means "the Church" (or any religion) should keep its "hands" out of government:
Actual First Amendment Right:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"
This right refers to the government "keeping its hands" out of religion, NOT to religion keeping its hands out of government! Therefore, court houses/court rooms should be allowed to post the Ten Commandments, children should be allowed to pray and read/learn about the Bible in public schools, "In God We Trust" should be allowed to be written on American money, the word "God" should be allowed in the swearing in for court ("so help you God") and in the Pledge of Allegiance ("one nation under God"), and people should be able to enact moral laws according to a moral code which some would infer as religious.

My "new" Cloth Diapers
So, I made a big deal a while ago about how I "hated" my old cloth diapers. I even asked for opinions ... and was told to go to disposables -- HA! Never. Anyway, that being said, I thought I would mention that I found the best cloth diapers ever -- FuzziBunz!! (Isn't it a cute name?)

1. It only takes one cycle to dry these (as opposed to 3 with the bumGenius and Kissaluvs).
2. They come with two inserts so I don't have to buy any extra if I need more absorbency. I do have to stuff them ("insert" the inserts), but that's why they dry so fast, so I don't complain about that part.
3. They go on with snaps instead of velcro - so now I don't have to worry about velco tabs staying closed in the washer/dryer and they also don't have the stiff velcro piece across his stomach which I felt was hurting his stomach when he was sitting and would be even more of a pain when he started leaning over like he does now.
4. They are "one-size" which I was totally against because I thought all the snaps to change the size looked tacky ... but my favorite part (the number one reason I love these so much) is that you change the elastic to make these looser/tighter (instead of snaps on the front).

See ... there's buttonholes in the elastic and to make it shorter/tighter around the legs you would pull the elastic through and "button" at a higher number. Which means that I can make the legs loose -- something he greatly needed with his little "chunk" thighs! (There's also elastic around the back that you can change.)
5. They are softer than the bumGenius and other cloth diapers that I tried (Kissaluvs, Thirsties).
6. I have only had one or two leaks with these diapers since I bought them in September.
7. Just to add another reason - I love these colors. They are so bright and vibrant compared to the other brands I've seen out there.
So, with all these reasons to love them, I wasn't opposed to the fact that they are one of the most expensive cloth diapers out there! (There are a couple brands that I saw were more, but not by much.)
GO FuzziBunz!!!!!
