Their grandmother flew back to Singapore today after visiting with us for two months. So to cheer the kids up after a teary airport goodbye we drove to a nearby mall where there was a Barnes and Noble, and they immediately honed in on the Totoro toys....(they've watched it twice in the past two weekends!). I managed to persuade them to just take a photo with the toys (& put it on their Christmas list) and pick a book each instead.
Centique Oh they're gorgeous! 8y
