Babies wear split pants and no diapers here. When they have to go, they squat down and go. We've observed parents directing the pee into grates in the sidewalk or under trees. I've read parenting blogs in the states about people trying to encourage this back home. But we really don't think that it would fly culturally.
While in the Lohmans' van in Chengdu Audrey announced that she really had to pee and we were far from the apartment. The driver pulled over and A squatted under a tree and relieved herself. We've had to do this a few times and let me say it has taken away the stress of traveling with a potty training toddler. She even requests the squatty toilets!
And just generally speaking, she is doing great, embracing the culture and is trying so many different foods, it's great! Joe and I are looking forward to incorporating her newly expanded diet into our everyday lives. Today she appears to be suffering from the beginnings of a cold- we are certain it is coming from her desire to lick everything over the past few days. Gross.
