I made a new friend in college when I saw she had the same stuffed animal. I saw it on her bed when we were chatting at her door and ran down the hall to my room and brought mine back with me to show her. We told our parents about the coincidence and they sent our baby pictures with them. We posed holding our snapshots and our stuffies and took a photo together to send back home.

Funny that this probably took over two months with our parents searching in photo boxes and then us developing the film and using the post office and today all those photos could be exchanged via text in a matter of minutes.

DS 19 still sleeps with his stuffed wolf he's had since he was in preschool. he's kept it in great condition and still cherishes it.

*I* still have my beloved teddy bear from when I was little!!! He's venerable, so playing with him is forbidden.

Why is it forbidden? Because he's wise and respected? I don't understand.

I'm 52 and my stuffies line the loveseat in my BR

I took my favorite stuffed animal (a Gund dog) and my baby blanket to college! They got put away once I got married, but now my DS has the stuffed dog and DD uses the blanket for her dolls.

My 16 year old still travels with her favorite one. He’ll definitely go to colllege with her

The Steiff lion I got as a baby is still in my bedroom (although I don’t sleep with it). I’m 53.

My 14 and 16 year olds still have stuffed animals on their beds

my 10 yo is still inseparable from her stuffed doggie, but she hasn't really hit puberty yet.

Anyone’s preteens still sleep with a stuffed animal or anything special from when they were little? How much have they kept from the younger days?
