I've always loved stuffed animals. when i was a little girl, i had lots of them. at one point, i must have been 7, my mom bet me i had more than 100. i said 'no way' but she was right! santa was kind enough to push me in that direction, so much so that i even had 2 giant bears and a giant elephant! my daughter is just the same. she even sleeps with
