As my daughter is crawling off the top of the changing table holding
a bar of soap in one hand and a ruler in the other I sometimes wonder
how anybody can change a diaper using diaper pins?  No part of this
young lady spends more than a tenth of a second in any single location
and most diaper changing takes place sort of in midair.

Biobottoms and their clones are an absolute necessity.  The local
diaper service has recently started selling a biobottom clone that is
made from nylon instead of wool, it cleans up easier.  But if you've
got a washing machine then that's not much of an issue.  The wool is
warmer, more "natural."

We discovered the only negative aspect to biobottoms recently.  It seems
my wife isn't quite as clever as my daughter. She didn't realize
that if Eleanor learned how to open velcro laced shoes that biobottoms
would surely follow.  This is going to make Eleanor real popular with ...
her parents.

As an aside everybody should drop into their local health food store
and try on a copy of Mothering magazine.  It is a good hearted modern
hippy kind of journal that is always entertaining.  The ads in the back
are full of fun stuff you couldn't find any other way; hand made
biobottoms from totally pure communes.  My favorite article
was on lotus birth; you see its important to let the placenta die a
natural death ( it seems this requires watering it... well never mind).

Go for them biobottoms!
