I remember sleeping with my Holly Hobbie doll, but I don't remember sleeping with a stuffed animal. My dd used to have to sleep with her little Simba and a little cat (it made little purring noises). Now she sleeps with a little Eeyore. My ds used to sleep with his Scooby and his teddy bear (he got it this past Christmas). My ds loaned our puppy his teddy bear (Boo will argue with my ds if he doesn't get to sleep with it ). Boo also sleeps with his rope monkey chew toy.
