This is Annika's bed and what it looked like one day after her nap. As you can see she sleeps with a lot of toys.
From the far left by the pillow we have "momma duck". Momma duck is actually a hippie rubber duckie. Then we have "pink car" and "yellow car". Next up is "daddy duck", he is a Frankenstein rubber duckie. Then a penguin (I think it's from "Surf's Up", we've never seen it but Annika loves penguins), then a cow, then one of my old My Little Ponies (to her it's another cow for some reason, she refuses to call it a pony), then another rubber duck followed by green frog, yellow frog and red frog.
And don't think she doesn't realize someone is missing for a second. In the middle of the night she'll wake up screaming for "momma duck" or her cow and then find them herself before I can even get out of bed.
I have to say that I'm a sucker for allowing her to sleep with whoever she wants. I did the same thing when I was little. I actually remember my parents telling me I was limited to 20 different stuffed animals because at one time I was way too crowded in bed.
I let Karina sleep with whatever she wants as long as it isn't a danger to her in her sleep. She mostly sleeps with books. Sometimes I've gone in there and she's sleeping on top of a pile of about 20 books. Hardbacks no less. She also has a few stuffed things--her Lambkin is most important, plus stuffed Tow Mater, stuffed Holley, stuffed Kuni (another car) and a few stuffed sheep that belong to Lambkin. Sometimes there are tiny princesses or toy cars in there with her, too. I slept with about 1,000 (haha) stuffed animals as a kid. Literally half my twin bed. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. :-)
