Adessa, here's a list of some of your favorite things to do these days:

• "airplane ride" in an IKEA bag crammed full of your stuffed animal friends

• climbing on my back and going on an "elephant ride" as we scope the African plains for lions, tigers, zebras, hippopotamuses, and ostriches
• helping me make a giant paper airplane and taking turns flinging it as far as we can
