Qu'il y a dans ta couche?

Lesson 2: It is easy to see why Americans are considered way more conservative as a whole than Europe, especially the French. Today our naptime story was "What's in your diaper" (hence the title)? Le livre went through all these baby animals asking what their shit looked like in their diaper...It took me awhile to figure out why the hell the mom would be reading this book to the kids but then by the end it was revealed that nothing was in the baby mouse's diaper b/c he used the toilet prompting kids to get potty-trained...yayyyyy!

Then later that day was my first diaper change and guesssss what was in it...haven't had to do that in awhile. Can someone explain to me why a 2 yr old is still in diapers?? I'm not an expert but based on my encounters with Zayley, who might barely be 1.5, has already started her training and by now is probably getting pretty good at it.

Also i wish someone could explain to me why the 4 yr old still has a pacifier - i think ive heard by 5, which is an extreme, if they still have it, it could start to be a psychological issue that needs to be addressed - i feel like by 3 kids start getting weened...

fun fact: the french think the english translation for pacifier is "dummy" havent heard that one before (i think the actual french term is titrine or something close to that)
