This is right up there with playing with baby tiger cubs...but perhaps slightly more intriguing because there are so few places in the world where a person can actually hold and pet "baby" pandas (albeit with a sizeable cash contribution.) This one was 10 months old and surprisingly hefty. The original game plan was to let Lolo hold the panda. But the bear weighed more than she did and since it had pointy speared bamboo in it's hands (and it's teeth and claws were far scarier than I had originally imagined)...we revisited the plan and I held the bear. Norah was uneasy here...she had a similar outlook when it came to tiger cubs in Thailand. When we were done, both girls complained that they couldn't really feel the panda very well because they had to wear the silly gloves. Major eyeroll.
