I finally parted with a couple items in my 30's. Now I have boxes of my kid's kid stuff!:smack:

My mother has a teddy which was given to her when she was a baby which she gave to my older brother when he was tiny. The teddy is wearing a cardigan knitted for me by my great grandmother. Will that do?

I was just visiting my sister this past weekend, and out of curiosity asked her if she still had my Cat in the Hat book (she does). It was my first book; I got it from the RIF Mobile when I was...two, I think? I remember picking out, and being pretty excited about it.

Okay, that may not really count, since I'm not really the one who has the book. But I do have plenty of other stuff, such as an eyeless teddy bear with a sewn-on striped night shirt and cap named Petey; Snoopy with a really floppy neck; and Blue Dog. Coincidentally, my fiance still has Red Dog.

One particularly cool thing I still have is my 1st grade book bag, which is circa 1970s plastic, with brown-toned panels in a Mondrian-like pattern. I've seriously considered using it as a purse, but figured it would probably get ruined if I did.

The cap is named Petey?

I used to have a trilby called Trevor years ago.

I was a strange teenager.

my christening bangle, My teddy, bruno. other stuff too

For some reason my brain wanted that to be "my christening bagel." You know, in case you wanted a delicious snack after the ceremony, I guess.

Oh, just tell me my punctuation sucks already. :)

Tons and tons and tons of stuff. WAY too much stuff.

i just found my baby book the other day

my mom used to write passages in it....there was some funny shit in there.

"Jimmy: adressing and old lady in line at the grocery store....
"are you old?"
Old lady: "yes, I suppose so."
Jimmy: "Old people die if they stay out in the sun all day"

Now, I wouldn't do that.
I want you to feel satisfied with yourself, as a person.

How great is it that your mom wrote that stuff down? Very cool parenting.

kind of like the stuff ive posted here about our kids....but a lot easier to find.

i re-read that 'things kids say' thread for spence not long ago......

where he called me a little prick....
too funny.

Oh yes... tons of stuff. I even went to the length of purchasing things that I had at one point that my mom sold at a garage sale. The most noteable of these repurchases were my Woodseys.

The Woodseys were this family of squirrels made by Fisher Price. Each Woodsey playset came with a Woodsey doll, a house of some sort and a book about the particular doll. I had the Woodsey family in their log home, grandma and grandpa woodsey with their store, the uncle woodsey who had an airplane and a hanger for the plane. Thanks to the miracle of ebay, I repurchased these, along with three woodsey characters that I did not have. I forgave my mom for selling these toys and they now sit in a box.

If I could get my hands on an old school Fisher Price little people house and sesame street playset, I'd be happy. What I would do with it, I don't know.

Fisher Price was great stuff, no matter the age. I remember my FP Castle, I loved that thing.

How cool that you have those. :)
