Little Tree Hugger "in training!" GIVEAWAY!!

My littlest man, Daniel, is in training - potty training that is! :) We're making progress, but we're not "there" yet! I used disposable pull-up pants with Jonathan, but this time around I'm trying a different approach - partly because I have a hard time with all the disposable stuff we're throwing away, and partly because Daniel categorically refuses to wear anything that doesn't look like underwear! (We are still insisting on a diaper at nap and night for our own sanity!) I'm not sure if every 2nd child is like this, but often, Daniel's goal in life seems to be "like Jonathan." So underwear it is. But, what do you do when you're really not in the mood to clean up the occasional puddle?

Little Tree Hugger is an online shop run by 2 sisters, with local service in the Edmonton/Beaumont area, and soon in the Winnipeg/Oakbank area as well. We had a review about them a while ago - you can read all about it here. They offer a variety of cloth diapering products, including diapers, liners, covers and accessories, swim diapers and potty training helpers.

Jungle/Zoo print

In the collection are the Imse Vimse training pants. These are the perfect option for someone who wants to wear underwear but still has the occasional "leak." Imse Vimse training pants have 3 layers: an inner layer of organic cotton terry, a hidden middle layer of waterproof polyester and an outer layer of printed organic cotton. The cotton terry is soft and somewhat absorbent, and the outer print makes the training pants fun! Daniel's have the farm print - Little Tree Hugger also sells the Jungle/zoo print; solid white, orange balls and green balls are also available. Imse Vimse pants are available in 3 sizes with a weight and height range, and the fit is good. The nice thing about cloth training pants is that it allows the child to feel wet. The pants are not as absorbent as a diaper and aren't meant to be, but a liner or a cover could be added for nap time if needed. My favourite feature of the training pants is their waterproof layer, as I can take Daniel out of the house without worrying about a messy accident. I think his favourite thing is that they look like underwear! :)
