Childhood Mementos: Sock Monkey & Toy Frog

This post is a bit off-topic My older brother had a sock monkey and when he got older, I also played with it. When I was a lot younger, about age 4; I had a stuffed toy frog named Freddy the Frog. While these were dearly loved toys, I don't recall what happened to these and some of the toys that my brother and I had; I can imagine what happened to them. See my dad was in retail , and we moved a lot; so I imagine they got left behind or we were asked to sell them in a yard sale. We moved 8 times, 7 of them before I was 15. Don't feel bad though, it's not like my brother and I lacked any toys(there are a lot of children who do). It's just that it would have been nice to pass these things on to other generations, like to my brother's children and grandchildren. I do have a baby quilt and a child's rocker, and a few other things that aren't in bad shape to be over 40 years old(how time flies!)
So do you have any favorite mementos from childhood or remember some that you no longer have? Let me know in the little comment box. I appreciate any and all comments!
