"Say hello to your cugina," Dante called and the kids started shouting hello at the top of their lungs as I laughed. "Are you little pups being good for your papa?" I asked them, smiling as I remembered their chubby little cheeks and aching to see them for real as soon as possible. "I'm not a pup," RJ announced loudly. "I'm going to be a Lion and roar louder than anyone else in the entire kingdom." "Well I'm going to be a ninja," Luca replied in a superior tone. "Who also can turn into a Dragon and a Basilisk and a Tiberian Rat." "I don't think that's how it works," I laughed.
