GTKY - Childhood Lovey

[kartish]

So my coworker and I were talking about kids this morning, and she mentioned how she has had her son's lovey in her room since he gave up sleeping with it (in high school, I think that's cute). And my childhood doll, Georgie, lives in my closet, so I was telling her about him. He is rather creepy looking now, but he brings back sweet memories.
My sister still keeps her childhood chimpanzee in her pillowcase, and even traveled with him until a few years ago.

Anyway, I thought it might be a fun GTKY.

I had a white cotton blankie. I slept with it until I went to college. Now it's in a Tupperware storage box in my closet in my parents' house.

High school & beyond I had a succession of teddy bears - usually given by a boy, tbh - and I stopped sleeping with the last one when DH and I got married. He stays in the guest room in case a visitor needs a snuggle. My friend's daughter usually borrows him when they visit.

I had a pooch patrol dog which is packed away. My baby blanket was made by my grandmother and its in the bed with me now! Lol

I had a little pig, but I was never too attached to it, TBH. I mostly had it 'cause "you're supposed to have one". It's in a drawer at my parents house but I'm thinking of bringing it here and put it in DDs room.
My sister had a bunny though that she would. not. let. go. off. It started out white and super fluffy, but as time wore it down it's gotten to the point of barely hanging together and is now more of a dirty gray. Gross, but sweet.

Fun!

I had a stuffed animal bear that was the one I took everywhere and slept with up until college when I figured it was time to "let go". But Nicole is currently on my closet shelf. DD1 asks me to get her down but I say she is too fragile to play with - mostly true andplusalso I don't want her damaging her.

DD1 is pretty attached to her stuffed Winnie-the-Pooh. It's her go-to sleep stuffy and she sometimes wants to bring it downstairs to play with. I think that might be her Nicole.

And for the sake of oversharing, DH has a creepy monkey puppet stuffed animal thing named Barney that's pretty beat up and "loved" that was his go-to. I don't know where it is now though...

I have a stuffed bunny that lives with DS's stuffed animals. I still sleep with him on nights H is OOT. I'd sleep with him every night if H didn't think it was weird. Bunny 4 lyfe.

I had a cabbage patch doll I was super attached to. She was the "crimp and curl" kind with the hair you could style. And her name was....wait for it.... Crimp and curl. So original lol. I'm hoping my parents still have her but we moved a couple times so chances are she's lost.

Omg crimp and curl! I loved those kind. My mom just got the girls these mini cbk dolls and they smell exactly the same! It was amazing!

Im late to this per usual.

I had 2. One was a blue teddy bear that my grandma made for me. That is on one of DDs shelves in her room. The other one was a Winnie the pooh that I know is somewhere in my basement.

I didn't have a lovey. DS doesn't really either.
