They (my neighbors) have finally converted me. I believe in split-pants, and Titus is wearing them.

Why?

Titus is starting to use the potty, so it makes for a fast transition onto the toilet.
In this heat, split-pants are much more comfortable than our stinky & hot cloth diapers.
It's socially acceptable, so why not?

Hi friend! We like to hear back from you. -- Rachel & Drew.

“It may be possible for each to think too much of his own potential glory hereafter; it is hardly possible for him to think too often or too deeply about that of his neighbor. The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbor's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. ...

"There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations -- these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit. ...your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses.”
