When I was 2 years old my mom got me a Small Stuffed Elephant. My Elephant was a baby and it had a Diaper.
My Elephant and I Would go everywhere Together. I Would Carry her Under my arm at all times I never let her out of my Sight.
At night She Would sleep With me. In the morning She Would Start the day With me.
As I was growing up elephant was still with me. When I had to go to kindergarten elephant would wait for me in my moms van.
When my mom picked me up from School elephant and I would go and have new adventures together.
Now that I am in the first grade elephant is still with me. She is missing an eye but to me She is the prettiest elephant in The whole World.
