The second annual Great Cloth Diaper Change℠ happens in just 9 short days and I want you to be there! With over 305 locations registered spanning across 16 countries there are many opportunities to participate in a Guiness World Record™ breaking event for most cloth diapers changed simultaneously.
The Great Cloth Diaper Change℠ takes place at 12 PM EST on April 21, 2012. Participants will be expected to bring a baby to the event (in a cloth or disposable diaper) to change into a cloth diaper. Babies must be under 39″ in height to be counted. As a tip from last year anyone hoping to attend should also bring a blanket or changing mat and a cloth wipe (to cover the private area of your baby between diapers). This event is not just a diaper change! All locations will be working hard to make it a family friendly event. Many will have entertainment, goodie bags, vendors, and opportunities to win cloth diapers and other great gear.
The week leading up to the BIG DAY is Real Diaper Week April 16-21, 2012. The schedule is as follows:

There will also be a BlogHop that week where many of us will be blogging about topics related to that day’s theme. Look posts from Dirty Diaper Laundry and friends. A list of participating bloggers is at The Eco Chic’s blog.
I am excited about attending again this year. I’ll be at the Charlotte, NC event hosted by Jack Be Natural. I’ll also be selling my “Cloth Rocks” Cloth Diaper Advocacy T-Shirts.
