   I agree, regarding the Beanies. Just thought it was nice that the newer   
   line that is *really* meant for small kids has been improved a bit. The   
   Baby Ty pastel stuff was cute in its own way, but kind of boring after a   
   while. It's good that now there is more variety in styles and colors.
