Oh good heavens YES!!! My daughter can barely rollover in bed, after she's picked the ones that get to sleep with her. I also can't wait until the nekid Barbiefest to begin.

Ack I used to run around dressing Barbies when my ex-mother-in-law was due for an invasion...errrr...visit (very strict almost wacko Baptist lady...nekkid was NOT allowed even in the Barbie world around her).

Vaughn I should go upstairs to the attic and take pics of the three massive plastic bags of stuffed animals. The kids won't throw them out but we ran out of room years ago. Beth who is now 13 used to sleep with so many you could barely fit her in amongst them and making her bed was a nightmare (especially when the talking Barney would suddenly trigger and mumble from the bottom of the pile..."want to be my friend!!!"...very eery!)

My wife loves stuffed animals. So we put a 1 - 2 year limit on their fostering with us then we donate them to the Childrens Cancer and Trama unit here at the University Hospital.

I have two, and they've gotten a couple here and there. The problem with that is explaining to the teary eyed child, why there FAVORITE (inevitably it's always the fav one or now that's it gone it has suddenly been elevated to that status) animal is now in the trash can. Usually the guilt ends up driving up to replace it with another one or two, so that doesn't work well in our house.
