" ''It felt great because I was able to ride on the rides and snap the roller-coaster bar and still have room in my seat,' McGloun says. And when she and Jonathan went to the movies, she didn't have to to sit sideways on her hip to fit into the seat. 'Fifteen minutes into the movie, I realized I was sitting in the seat. I jumped up and said, `Oh, my God, I'm sitting in the seat. My son was like, `OK, Mom.' ''
