Everything old is new again.

During my after work blog jog I read this entry which made me think of another prize I won a long time ago.  The day Andrea was born, her paternal grandmother aka Little Nanny entered her name in the Carnation Milk lucky baby contest.  Our entry was drawn for first prize, one dozen disposable diapers.   That may not sound like much of a prize but at that time disposable diapers were just being introduced to the market place.  No one I knew had even seen disposable diapers. 

How I hoarded that dozen diapers.   I would only put one on Andrea when we had someplace special to go, such as my grandmother’s, Andrea’s baptism and the last one for her first birthday.

I can still hear my grandmother tsk-tsk ” Disposable diapers.  Disposable bottles.  What next disposable babies?”

Andrea’s own children came home from the hospital wearing cloth diapers, which were just returning to vogue.  It never ceases to amaze me, how everything just goes round in circles.
