Resting: Stereoviews A-Z


 Cute stereoview of little girl. At first I thought she was sitting on a potty chair. Maybe she is. I am reminded of the struggle I had potty training my son. He was four-years-old and still in diapers. It was a matter of convenience (i.e., his). And I remember this same look on his face, too.

"Yes, I get it, Mommy. No more diapers."  


"Resting" (ca. 1890)

  3. I remember quite an array of interestiong facial expressions produced by my children with respect to their various nappy filling activies. The "poo face" always gave us the heads up that we had some work to do.

  5. I feel like I need a good rest. I'm glad I'm not dealing with potty training days any more.

  6. HaHa! And prior to the little "poo smile" was the face contorted as if it took Herculean effort to expel the poo.

  9. Ugh... Potty training. So glad that's behind me now. I had so much trouble with my older son. My younger one, not so much. We were going on a trip to Australia and I told him they didn't allow diapers in Australia, so he'd have to learn to use the toilet. Amazingly enough, several weeks before we left, he was completely potty trained.

  12. Cute snap! She's certainly got a potty posture and an expression to match success!

"Stay" is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary
(A.B. Alcott). Stay and visit awhile. Your comments mean a lot to me.
