Rule number 1: avoid standing liquid

This is the first in a series of blogs... probably a long and full series. I want to let you in on some of the totally normal things in my world!

First one: split pants. 

Diapers are not so normal here- letting children use an "outdoor toilet" is very much so. While this seems to violate every public sanitary norm I have, the logic makes sense, too. Why on earth would you want your child to sit in his own .... you get the picture. 

For this reason, one of the first rules I quickly adopted was to avoid standing liquid. You just never know if it is water... or something else. Do you think these would go over well in the U.S.? I heard that when children are learning to be potty trained, they start asking for their parents to "take them to the grass" rather than the indoor toilet. Well- it's closer usually!
