    At night I slept with several stuffed animals; one had to travel with me on overnight trips, a small gray elephant with red corduroy ears. I still have it, though last year WILLY pulled the eyes off. I have them and hope to figure out how to restore them.

    My favorite toy to play with was colorforms!

    I don't have anything from childhood but memories. One of my favorite things was my roller skates. On rainy days I liked to play
    Jacks with my next door neighbor girl on the front porch.

    Believe it or not: there is a little Steiff kitty which came with the name Tabby and tabby she is and she sits close to my bed. All my real life kitties started to think she is the same as they are and had to go real close and sniff her before they knew.
    Tabby is now over 50 years old and her fur is not as shiny and long as it used to be- but this is the same for me I was never allowed to have a kitten when I was a kid - but there was Tabby

    My barbies and my little ponies. They are still at my dads house. My neices play with them when they visit. He's coming down here next weekend and bringing some for Hannah. Care bears... i still have my entire care bear collection. Mr Moose. He was a Gund. Our librarian at school had one and he was a big puppet and I just fell in love with him. I know he cost my parents quite a bit of money but I got him for Christmas when I was 8 years old and I still have him and now he's Hannahs.

    I have A LOT of my old toys from when I was a kid. I'm very sentimental lol so I keep a lot of "stuff" that hold special memories.

    One of my favorites though that I wish I still had was my Teddy Ruxpin. He came with books and tapes and you put the tape in and he would read the book while you followed along. He broke and I was heartbroken like my best friend died. My mom sent him to be fixed and when he came back the repairman put a bandaid on his forehead lol.




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    I was also having a lot of Steiff animals and I loved playing with them (much more than with dolls, btw), of course there was also a kitty among them, a grey one with white paws... But my favourite was an elepfant that I had named Sokrates. A couple of years ago, I sold all my Steiff animals; Sokrates was the only one I kept.
