We couldn't resist this one! While the Full Moon Festival really only lasts one day, we thought that this shot was just too fitting. This pic is of the "poo poo pants" that are common for little ones to wear here in China! Don't ask--I still haven't figured out how exactly this works--but it is culturally appropriate for toddlers to wear these pants with the crotch cut out of the middle with no diapers on at all! The idea (I think!) is to help potty train the kids--only without the potty--so that they can easily go to the bathroom wherever they are. Gross? Yes! But common and widely accepted here, yes! (And in case any of you are concerned, yes, I did pack and ship over plenty of clothes for all of the kids, so poo poo pant purchases are not in our future.)
The other pic is of the kids this morning with their new animal pillows in their bedroom. We made a trip to a Home Depot store that sells BBQ grills today, and the kids found these treasures for their new room. They were much more excited about rest time in the afternoon than normal because of them!
