After a good 20 minutes (yes, really), we came to the conclustion that Darby is Christopher Robin's daugher and has passed all of his Hundred Acre Wood friends & thier stories on to her now that he's grown. So what do you think?

My husband was actually named Christopher after Christopher Robin so I have a bit of a soft spot for him.
