Plushie Collecting: Part 1

Alright, so as you have read from the title, I am currently gathering a collection of plushies. So you might be asking, where did this all start? Which you probably didn't,because you're probably not a therapist. Regardless my plushie collecting started in England where I was born. So during a trip to London I was not able to sleep (most likely due to a picture of a monkey on a train that, at the time I thought was frightening.)  This is why my parents went to a nearby store to purchase a stuffed animal to ease my fear. (I assume it was winter at the time because the plushie had a winter hat and scarf) I remember choosing between a stuffed elf/snowman (I can't remember which one), a stuffed Santa, and a penguin with a multicolored Santa hat and multicolored scarf. I chose the penguin, and I still have him to this day. I didn't get another plushie in a while until my sister gave me a plush of a pink and white fox for my 9th birthday. From then on was when I started getting a lot of plushes. After my 9th birthday, my sister also got me a pink Unicorn plush and a blue Pegasus plush that looked like weird pigs. There was also an alicorn plush but my sister couldn't get it so instead she got me a unicorn of a different style, as well as another unicorn with those straps that would snap back in place when you pulled on them. I also got a dog with really long arms. That is where I'll leave it because this is getting too long. See you in part 2!
