First of all, I love the quote that goes with the photo! The photo, while reminding me of similar washings and dryings I've done for my kids, reminds me of more sinister hangings/impalings in the Middle Ages!! :>)
ReplyDeleteNice quote. Perfect to go with that picture! This is indeed a very meaningful post!

une façon originale de faire garderie d'enfants ;o))
ReplyDeleteIt really does capture your attention, doesn't it? A bit on the creepy side at first impression, but then when you look at their expressions you can really let the imagination roll!!:) It's the little things in life (like noticing scenes like this one) that add spice to the daily monotony, really. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis one is just a little bit creepy. A fine photograph, but it has a rather unnerving effect.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words and photo.
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes. This is almost depressing.
ReplyDeleteSlightly disturbing image. Guess that says something about me!
ReplyDeleteGreat quote. Very true.
Gulp!!!
ReplyDeletecomme ça il peuvent bouger sans faire de bétises
ReplyDeleteThis is kind of freaky and month appropriate.
ReplyDeleteIt's silly and funny and odd and sweet and I don't know, a bunch of things rolled into one. I love the quote.
ReplyDeletemignon ;O)

Fortunately no real babies! :-)
ReplyDeletei wonder if they really washed all those dolls! :)
ReplyDeleteLove that quote. And it's so true too!
That's very tentalising ! I would appreciate some times to do the same with Gabriel. Immobilizing him....just for a few minutes, pleeease !
ReplyDeleteI still have my dolls at my mother's house in the attic in a box...
ReplyDeleteWell no fear. I can tell you that I washed and scrubbed my daughters' babies many times. They need a good cleaning from time to time. I love this image I guess because I have those memories. And as Peter said, "Not real babies"! Thankfully
