They made use of aprons and cloth napkins to keep them clean longer. Potty training for kids started as soon as they could walk. There was a reason why both boy and girl toddlers wore little dresses. Grandma had an old-fashioned wringer washer, which I thought was fascinating. My dad offered many times to buy her an automatic one, but she said she didn't need it; what she had was so much better than a washboard. It's all a matter of perspective, I guess.Melody Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442985285647041700noreply@blogger.com
