Children

As we walk around our apartment complex and down the local streets, we always see lots of cute children.  Here are some typical, uniformed schoolkids on their lunch break:Camo kidsThe college girls usually walk arm-in-arm – so do the little girls:???????????????????????????????Every morning, the kids at the school across the street gather on their new athletic field for group exercises:???????????????????????????????Some children are privileged enough to visit the balloon man:???????????????????????????????While some get a front-row seat on their mother’s recycling cycle:???????????????????????????????Usually, where there is a construction project, there are children playing in the debris:Dirty kidsIt is quite normal to see toddlers in split pants (also notice the stroller – they are growing in popularity):???????????????????????????????Many Chinese babies are adorably fat.  This one looks like his head is getting too large for his hair:???????????????????????????????Speaking of little children, this guy (dressed in the usual smock) walked by us today at the park and wandered off into a restaurant section.  Susan watched with concern until the grandma finally came and found him:Wandering BabyAt the same park, there is an inflatable version of Disneyland, allowing the kids to play nearby a major elevated highway:???????????????????????????????There is also a fun place for kids to go “fishing” with their parents:???????????????????????????????As I said, there are a lot of cute kids here in China. But the ones we enjoy seeing the most can be found on the Skype screen inside of our apartment (yes, I am a typical grandparent)!???????????????????????????????
