Diaper Savings

@ Torgo

I just got back from a trip to China, and this is the predominant way that they deal with pre-potty trained children. Instead of dresses like this, both boys and girls wear pants without an inseam. Then the child either squats on the pavement or is held and "aimed" by an adult in a non-intrusive place. It was definitely a jarring sight for us foreigners used to well-padded and completely covered baby bottoms! I had no idea this method was ever typical in the U.S. as well. I wonder how common it was, or if this was a summer accident? Adorable kid at any rate though.

What a face..

That smile has me completely captivated! I'd love to know who she is, and what her life was like.

It's hard to see such a vibrant, alive face, and realize she's probably grown old & likely died by now.

Accidents Do Happen

Someone should use the crumpled newspaper in the perambulator to wipe up that puddle.

Linda?

"The Exorcist": The Prequel

Almost wish I lived then.

Makes me wonder how much we'd be saving on diapers.
