Thanks! You're right, it's no big deal either way in the grand scheme of things...then again, you never know what memories from 4 years old may randomly stand out for an adult :)
We were overrun with stuffed animals, too! It's unbelievable the way they accumulate!! I heavily culled them a couple years ago and now each child has about half a dozen "very favorites." The hen dodged over the line, but I'm reestablishing the ban on new ones for sure😂
