And I still love to ride the ferris wheel - the bigger the better!
I still like stuffed animals, too! Before Lyra was born, I wouldn't buy too many because I don't do anything with them...they just sit there, which is kind of a waste. But now I can get whatever I like and give them to Lyra. (She has quite a collection already). There is a really cool store nearby that is shaped like Noah's Ark (it's HUGE) and is just filled with stuffed animals of all kinds. It's really fun- we are going to take Lyra there every year and get her a toy.

I like lots of kid-ish things, (and so does my husband) but I'm not really embarrassed by it (probably why I enjoy teaching). Before we had kids, we would often take my nephew all kinds of places and all have fun (we still do), and now it's fun to go with Lyra, too.
