Is that little boy really outside in November without pants on? Yes, he is. The woman with the camera is wearing coat and scarf. His sister is wearing sweater and scarf. And a mother who could most certainly afford to have him in darling outfits that fit perfectly every single day has him outside in front of cameras in an oversized sweatshirt and a diaper. Dear God.
