I work at a private elementary school so I know all about the over-dressing. When we take the kids swimming it is hilarious because all the Italian kids have three layers on and the one American girl I have just has one! <BR/><BR/>Apparently the undershirt is the 'pneumonia blocker' because it absorbs the sweat and then since it is under another shirt, the wind won't blow on it and cause you to have pneumonia. At least that's how one Italian mom explained it to me. <BR/><BR/>So strange.Going Somewherehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13697868024073140370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263424657289079822.post-92120304219649369552008-01-22T19:06:00.000+01:002008-01-22T19:06:00.000+01:00Isn't it funny how even something like your perception of how warm or cold your child should be is so culture-specific?Iotahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263424657289079822.post-56405575592457895242008-01-21T15:02:00.000+01:002008-01-21T15:02:00.000+01:00We just moved to Rome and my daughter is three... Where is this awesome little dance school? <BR/><BR/>Perhaps we'll meet. I am trying to get in touch with the American Women's Association to become a member! <BR/><BR/>Oh, and I am amazed at the amount of clothing the Roman's need for not-so-cold temperatures!Everyday Yoginihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03692433569403506421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263424657289079822.post-33567429256449709802008-01-16T14:50:00.000+01:002008-01-16T14:50:00.000+01:00Ha ha ha ... Why, oh why am I not suprised?? Although, I would think this goes in direct contradiction of their ideal of fashion. But, what do I know? I am just a straniera!Cherryehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12608692973637089618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263424657289079822.post-8825739074961064272008-01-15T04:21:00.000+01:002008-01-15T04:21:00.000+01:00I work for the New York Kids Club in the United States (<A HREF="http://www.nykidsclub.com" REL="nofollow">www.nykidsclub.com</A>) and it is an enhancement center for children in the Manhattan area of NYC. We offer ballet classes and this is a great little antidote to tell parents about children's ballet lessons in Italy. Its even a great little story to rely back to the kids in the ballet courses we offer as an example of culture differences. Thanks for the info!kwolphhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12817200645294862115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263424657289079822.post-20594388682961450042008-01-14T21:47:00.000+01:002008-01-14T21:47:00.000+01:00Everyone knows that undershirts don't go under leotards. You only have to watch the olympics etc for proof. They must get real sweaty. Cute photos.Delinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03318448281699620966noreply@blogger.com
