When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a woman, I put away childish things -- 1 Corinthians 13:11Putting away childish things is turning out to be a lot harder than I ever thought it would be. When Mom began remodeling her home, we decided (Well, more like I decided) it was time to sort through everything and declutter. Yesterday, in a barrel in the basement we found my baby dolls and stuffed animals I've saved over the years.
- Baby Bear -- I gave her a hug in the department store when I was 8 months old and would never let it go. I even took her on my mission.
- Ted D. Bear -- Becky gave him to me for Christmas one year.
- Al the Crocodile (he roars when you squeeze it's snout) -- Lance brought it back from Florida for me before they moved and I wouldn't be his nanny any more.
- Welcome Home Baby -- That's what it said on the box, so that's what I named her.
- Snowball the Gorilla -- Sam won him for me at Lagoon on our first date playing a football game.
- A ratty little doll named Leivela -- I saw her one Christmas morning and yelled "Leivela!" My mom still doesn't know where I came up with that name.
- Purple Elephant -- Chad won him for me at Lagoon...turned out to be quite ironic when the pink elephant in the room really did turn out to be purple.
- Cyndi and Jeffery -- Both anatomically correct.

I know exactly how you feel. I moved all my stuff over to the new house and I still have some dolls and stuffed animals. I finally realized that it would be good to have them out for the kids to play with instead of just boxed up.
I was going to say you better keep Baby Bear! My mom is bringing my things out here in a month. And I'm going to have to do the same thing :( only I don't have cute nieces to give them too.
Miss you girl!
You're good! I can't remember any of my dolls' names! I gave my stuffed animals to Belle. She chews them up to pieces. I guess that's almost as good as giving it to a child! :)
