This is my childhood stuffed animal. I got it for my fourth birthday. I named it eli very basic but i was four years old. I have had it for 13 years and will probably have it forever. It is very meaningful to me because I got it from my auntie who I didn't see a lot. She does live here now but it has not lost its meaning. I remember wanting to take it everywhere. I tried to bring it to school with me on the first day of kindergarten but my mom wouldn't let me, so I ended up bringing it for show and tell. I used to do little tea parties and stuff with her and talk to her like she was my friend. It used to creep my sister out cause she would be trying to sleep and i would just start talking to someone when i was a kid it was like a source of comfort to me. Now that I'm older I don't use it the same way but it is still something I keep around. I did lose it one time when I was in the second grade but I ended up finding it under the bed. I was crying for like a week just for it to be under my bed. Maybe when I'm older and I have kids I let it become their childhood stuff animal but I'm not sure because it might now be as meaningful to them as it is to me.
