It seems that Elise did not quite find the humor in my countryside story. I should have known. The idea of her baby being out there in the cold improperly dressed will ALWAYS draw a Mommy's ire. So allow me to clarify. The point, you see, was not in that Mia was under-dressed...the point was that the Chinese are obsessed about bundling their babies.
Think "Christmas Story", then add a layer.
Just so you know what we're talking about here...and so that you can see two more cute pix of Mia (which is the real reason)...to the left I have posted a couple of different "going out" shots. Notice - if you will - the tights, the thick cap, the warm sweats, and the parka - all over, of course, a long sleeve onsey, warm socks, and, um, a cozy diaper.
