Stuffed Animal Madness

As I was cleaning up Elsie's toys one night I realized she has a LOT of stuffed animals. So I started counting. We got up to 20, this is not counting furry friends in the car, under the couch, inside the refrigerator. You get the idea...they pop up everywhere! Sören thought this must be a typical amount of critters for a toddler to have so I called my sister to ask how my friends of the stuffed variety my nephew has. Her answer was "Maybe 5 at the most, why?"

Why?! Becuase for some reason the amount of stuffed animals Elsie has collected is driving me crazy, and we haven't bought her ONE! I was at least hoping my sisiter was in the same boat of annoyance as me. So as I stumble over another stuffed dog I wonder why I'm so heartless in the area of stuffed animals and fear that this blog post will lead cruel relatives to buy Elsie more stuffed animals just to drive me crazy. Be warned...any more stuffed animals into the Erickson house will find a new home at a garage sale or charity pick-up :)

Anywho...here's a picture of Elsie with a few of her friends.

Anne and Soren -
Congrats on the upcoming baby! Had to comment on the stuffed animals. I just reduced Maggie and Luke's from 138 to 115. They won't get rid of any - they all have names and faces and such! I am putting a few into the church garage sale - not sure if I will tell them or not . . . I'd say weed them out while she's still young enough not to notice! I have to do that periodically - some relatives just can't resist adding to the family for Christmas, Easter, halloween,b-days, etc. the list goes on and on! So I'd say about 20 - not too bad yet ( - :
