Prior to our going to Florida, Hannah would not ride a Merry Go Round. She would tell you maybe "next week", but that never came. She saw the characters and Mayor Clayton riding the one at the village, and it only took a couple days for Hannah to finally say she was ready to ride. I was sort of worried that she would get on and then scream to the point of an embarrassing moment that the operator would have to stop the ride to let her off...NOPE...we had to drag her off and from that day on, when we saw the merry-go-round, she had to ride.
