Hailey's passion for ELEPHANTS!!!

For those of you who don't know, and I don't know how anyone can't, Hailey LOVES elephants. She has a passion for them like I've never seen in a child.  She has liked them for as long as I can remember.  We decided to just count the elephants that she has in her bed and as you can see that is ALOT.  It's hard to find her sometimes!  She has between 60-65 or so (just in her bed).  Quite a few of them have names too AND she can tell you what they are!!  She also has two elephant blankets in there and an elephant comforter and pillow.
This is her dresser with some more of her elephants including the pictures of her when she got to ride one at the Shrine Circus at the Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh. That was a BLAST!  She was in heaven and didn't want to leave.  She had her fill of elephants that day because after the circus we went to the zoo and spent a lot of time in the elephant house.  She cried that day when it was time to leave the elephants.  She was afraid her elephants were going to miss her.
Here is another little stand she has with more elephants.  She has an elephant shelf, but we haven't had a chance to get it up yet.
This is the big elephant rug on her floor.  Amanda got this for her for Christmas last year.

And here is Baby Cake.  She can sit on this elephant!!
Hailey wants to work with elephants when she gets big.  She wants to be an elephant doctor or an elephant trainer.  I hope her dream comes true some day!  If we could have an elephant in our backyard she would be all for that!!!

My grandmother-in-law has been collecting elephants for most of her 83 years. She would be very impressed with Hailey's collection - this is only the beginning :)
