During the weeks preceding our journey to China, Steve and I shopped for various items to hopefully occupy Lanhua during our downtime in China, as well as during the long flight back to the US. Along the way, I found what I thought would be a great introduction to the Latin alphabet for a 9-year old girl: a Barbie-themed penmanship practice / coloring book. It was pink, pretty and very Barbie. Much to my disappointment (I loved Barbies as a kid), Steve insisted that our daughter will not be subjected to the superficial marketing abyss of Barbie dolls and related paraphernalia. Little did he know……….
Within 6 weeks of Lanhua’s arrival in the US, she came home with a new toothbrush that she convinced Dad to buy during a routine trip to the grocery store (refer to photos).
We tossed the toothbrush this morning. Before doing so, however, I asked Steve to capture a few photos of this somewhat symbolic item. Barbie never looked better.
