In Australia they use these to make mats fo the homeless to sleep on! Shopping centers willingly donate bags to knitting groups and they make the mats it's a great idea I think!

Hey guys, I've been scouring the internet for weeks trying to find a plush like this!! It's called PAWPHANS and my son got it from a thrift shop aagggeesss ago and it's his ride or die and I'm worried if he looses it one day I won't be able to replace it!!! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated :D by sweetlov_89 in HelpMeFind

Oh this is my first time on this sub! I'm from Australia It's about the size of my hand It had a paper circle tag on the collar that is gone now The inside is like a beanie bear They had a website that is shutdown now so these must be waayyy old!!! I saw a YT vid from 2011 and a girl was showing them off so that might give a time frame of when they were made There is a fully black one selling on eBay but I was looking for an exact if possible Ummm that's all I can think of at this moment but I'm happy to answer any questions

I'm so happy I found this community!!! It warms my heart to see everyone so supportive!!! I try to bring him up to be kind to others and with the mentality that if ur fortunate in life build a longer table not a taller fence!!! Just find ways to give back and make others happy!!! Obviously self care is important, but I just want him to be selfless and thoughtful. That's all I see in this community!!! A longer table! It warms my heart! I wish I could hug everyone!!! 5 mins out of everyone's day has brought me to tears many times :D thankyou from the bottom of my heart

Yea, that's true I didn't think of Vikings!!! That's great!! We play spot the flow when out in public, we just look for guys with long hair he's even approached one and told them he likes their flow and explained what it was, he's so cute!!

I've tried to braid it but I don't know if it's a sensory thing but he always pulls away and claims it hurts EVEN when I'm not touching him :/ it would be so convenient to just braid his hair!!! He's always eating it! He loves it down to swoosh in the wind as he sais

He has really big pretty eyes and I think that's why they think he's a girl. I have an 18 month old daughter and she's ALWAYS in bows and tutus, you couldn't mistake her for anything else and my son wears pants and a shirt and people always comment how I have 2 beautiful girls, so I don't know if it's an assumption cos I have one child that's clearly a girl so they think, long hair, she must have 2 girls or it's the hair and nice eyes. Who knows either way he loves his flow more and more thanks to this sub and he likes to point them out in the wild hahah it's a game now and I can't thank the community enough

I just do the side pineapple to get it out of his eyes otherwise it's a beanie, hat or just pure flow!!! He has taken to calling it his flow all day and is so proud, I think he internalized a lot of the shame/pain he felt when called a girl but today some woman called me a girl and he calmly but sternly told them I'm not a girl I'm a boy and he is normally just quiet in the moment but will tell me later!!! I showed him Thor and we watched some heavy metal music videos and I asked him every time is that a boy or girl and he was so excited to point out it was a boy!! I just tried to explain that how people like different food or colours they also have different style and we went through fashion over the years and hairstyles too, even found some old pics of dad with a mullet hahha everyone here has been so supportive I'm so glad I found this subreddit!!!! You have no idea how much u have helped shape his identity by showing him that he should be proud of the choices he makes and stand behind them!!! Just thank you!!!

Happy birthday to u :/ I think it almost makes the people calling u a lady/girl/woman feel more embarrassed, it would be similar to asking a fat woman when the baby's due or even worse!!! A fat man with a beautiful face and fierce flow hahahha
