Right, its confession time, going back to when you were a little kid did you have a favourite toy that you took to bed with you and if so do you still have have it now?

Maybe you still like to take a favourite stuffed animal or other toy to bed for a hug so 'fess up and don't be shy now :D

As a pre-teen I had a stuffed Penguin called Pip that I'd been given as a baby, his little orange feet kept falling off and my mum kept sewing them back on but eventually he got really old and threadbare and his seams were spliting and one day she told me she'd thrown him away ... *sniffs*

My brother didn't have a favourite toy but he was inseparable from a piece of old flannelette sheet he called 'the dada', the thing used to go everywhere with him but especially to bed. Awww.

Although I often push her out my cat often sleeps in my bed... sometimes ontop of me. I also have a pillow shaped like a huge fish that I sleep on, I've had it since I was twelve. I would talk about more sleeping buddies but the thread would be closed and I'd be banned.

Good Ol' Batmanuel!

I wasn't really the kind of kid that slept with stuffed animals. Maybe I just never thought of it or didn't see the point. The only thing I ever did, and still do, to make myself more comfortable is have an extra pillow under my arm. Feels weird now whenever I only have the one under my head, but nothing under my arm.

My last cat used to sleep at the foot of my bed right at the corner and barely stirred all night, but my current cat isn't allowed on my bed overnight, as her hyperness would probably wake me up a lot. :p

Honestly, I never did sleep with stuffed animals. I found them uncomftorable and a good waste of space.

As a four year old...you thought a stuffed animal was a waste of space. That's...sort of sad (sad as in "wow...four years old with that mentality").

I had a stuffed bunny I got for easter once that I used to sleep with. His name was "Squishy", as I squeezed the stuffing out of his neck and he...has no neck support now. I still have him--no way I'm getting rid of him, either.

On the topic of stuffed animals, I also bought a giant stuffed duck that was on sale for $5--and I named him Howard. :D

I've never slept with anything but pillows and maybe the occasional female. :p Seriously, never slept with a stuffed animal in my life, never saw the point, I tried when I was younger, but they'd just get knocked off through the night anyway.

I used to have stuffed animals forming an army frontline around my bed XD
But even now, I still have quite a few stuffed animals. Mostly bean-bag animals, like my Digimon ones. Yet they're stuffed under my pillow.

This is sad... when I was a kid I had a lot of Beanie Babies. Some I loved so much I'd bring many to bed with me. :sad: Legs the frog and Goldie the goldfish always went in my bed.

When I was little I slept with my blankie, but it finally got so gross we had to throw it out. I still sleep with stuffed animals. I have a tiger I like to hold when I'm sleeping. I also sleep with stuffed dog I made, a seal, a polar bear, and a little bear.

When I was 4, I always had a feather pillow I loved to sleep on. I just didn't want to sleep on it anymore after one night when my dad slept on it, it never smelled the same way again :(.

I also had a talking stuffed dog that I named "Missy" but I lost interest when it lost its ability to talk and its eye was starting to loose its paint.

Hmmm, when I was young I used to have a stuffed bear and Jem & the Holograms doll named Rio. I use to take that doll everywhere! I took him to Greece as a child and took him to the beach as well over there. I still have him even if he has no hands and a broken loose leg. I just can't throw him away. I never cared about Barbie dolls but this Rio doll of the Jem & holograms series was my fave. Now, he spends the rest of his days in a box in my closet. :D

Now, I have JL Batman plushie that sleeps at the foot of my bed. I wake up having him stare at me. :D He is a sight for sore eyes. =P

I still have lots of pillows, and some of my old pals are stuffed in there somewhere.

I have this one guy (a polar bear) that my polish grandma gave me when I was 1. I switch between calling him Mister Bear and Bear T and Cool Bear Tee. Lying around somewhere is a live action movie that my friend made while I was on the computer one day.

It's friggin hilarous. He went through all my socks and underwear and had this chasecam thing going on while he would dangle it in front of the camera (like he was running on air).

When I was maybe 8 I had so many stuffed animals they made another layer on my bed for me to sleep on there were probably 50+ I don't remember any specifically except a panda and his son wearing a coat and hat that could detatch. Before that I had a lilttle yellow blanket I would carry around everyhere named Kitty.

Manny the Mannatee, I've used him as a pillow ever since a depression and he hasn't left the bed ever since. Love him very much and if I lost him I'd be PISSED

I have to admit I do sleep two stuff animals I have since I was a baby. They are Lambchops, and Teddy (when you pick him up he make ratting nosies.). I sleep with my favorite blanket which have the peace symbol on it. I also sleep with my beanie babies at one time. I mostly sleep with my Erin the elemard green bear. I kept him in mint condition.

Back in the day I used to have a Tigger doll I got at Disneyland, wayyy back in 1987, and a pair of dinosaurs - a green apatosaurus, and a blue triceratops. I had plenty of other dolls too, but they hung out in the corner on the floor. These three hung out in my bed til the day I outgrew them.

(...last week?)
