1. Many of the items in my collection were my mother's before mine, so I had them since birth!
2. A little Valentine's-themed frog plushie I got at Target! It's holding a glittery purple balloon :)
3. Because I wear him out in public, my beanie baby frog Legs. He's flat enough that I'll wear him on my shoulder sometimes when I go out.
4. Probably my weighted dinosaur Rita!
5. My Build-A-Bear spring frog, Keisha, because I also bought her like $20 worth of clothes. (A black t-shirt and boxers). It was probably around $30-40 with all said and done.
6. Many of mine were gifts but not counting that, my aforementioned Beanie Baby frog; Legs was $4 at a consignment store and then Legs 2.0 (I lost the first Legs) was $2 at a thrift store.
7. I don't keep her locked away but I do keep her separate from my others because she's so fragile: a hand-sewn bunny gifted to me by my ex. She's named Dum-Dum because my ex bought a 100-pack of Dum Dums the day they gifted her to me.
8. Probably my weighted dino, Rita, I sleep with her most nights.
9. My favorite depends on the category, but I love Legs for his character. Unfortunately, I don't take Legs 2.0 out and about much because a. I now use a wheelchair sometimes (involves a lot of shoulder movement) and b. I'm scared of losing him too.
I have many more stuffed animals (especially frogs) than was mentioned in this post, and I love them all dearly!
