What's the weirdest thing your kids have slept with lately?

[NotQuiteCockney]

Mine: DS2 (2.9 or something) slept with my old broken bike seat last night.

[PersonalClown]

Do I count?

[cece]

Not sure if this counts but my dd has phases of slepping with dolls stuffed up her pj top. One night I found 3 up there! (baby annabel sized!) I take them out when I go to bed.

[NotQuiteCockney]

Is she pregnant with them?

[Lilliput]

A pastry brush, he is his father's son. (Dh is a chef, I'm not implying I look like a pastry brush )

[McDreamy]

I went into DD last night, she was asleep on her side with her colured stones arranged/balanced on her hip - quite a feat really

[Chirpygirl]

DD (16 months) sleeps with a toy mobile phone and when she wakes in the night we can hear her calling her 'Dada' and having a chat with him before going back to sleep.

[TooTicky]

Dd2 (nearly 2) was very taken with a postcard recently.

[cece]

Yes I assume taht is the game she is playing, then falls asleep!

[bozza]

DD has been surprisingly mainstream tonight and gone to sleep with a rather nice looking teddy bear. The reason the teddy bear is looking so great is because she has ignored it for the last 3 years(it was given to her at birth). She has been through weird phases though - a plastic teapot lid and plastic jar of peanut butter was one, a plastic strawberry was another, that sort of thing.

DS, if he sleeps with anything it is usually Gas from MPower. Although he did take "classic pooh" as he calls him on holiday.

[Flamesparrow]

A wool nappy wrap (Clean I might add...) 15 months

DD sleeps with books, a little figurine, or when she first got them = her crocs!! (4yrs_

[suedonim]

Dd2 (age 11) is currently sharing her bed with a spotty gecko. Luckily it's plastic but she reckons it keeps the mosquitoes away so who am I to argue?

[essanel]

I remember my nephew sleeping with a box of cornflakes from a variety pack he had been sleeping with for about 3 weeks (sellotaped together) until he came to stay with us and my mum assumed it was his breakfast and couldn't understand why he was sobbing all through breakfast - he is 16 now and we still remind my mum of this saying it was like ripping the head of his favourite teddy and scarring him for life!

[themaskedposter]

currently dd is sleeping with a hippo (not a real one - this one is about 10" by 5" and is plastic) he is called 'hippo the elephant'

[MrsBigD]

my ds (2.9 also) has taken a shine to one of our vaccuum attachments, not sure what it's actually used for as I never have so far but he likes snuggling up to it and biting the edges.

[bellaprincess]

DD is currently sleeping with:-

Blankie No.1
Blankie No.2
A scarf
A teddie
A cat
A dog
A rabbit
another teddie
A pink dinosaur
Nemo the fish
another dog
An elephant

and last but not least a postcard of Gorden the tank engine.
God knows how she fits in the bed but she does. Although she did fall out of bed the other night.

[mytwopenceworth]

ds1 has his new trainers under his pillow and I haven't checked, but I bet ds2 has a bed full of books, like always! Not very weird though, just uncomfy!

[lemonaid]

DS took a spoon to bed tonight .

[Toothyboy]

Lol at essanel's nephew's cornflakes!!

Tonight ds1 has a plastic golf club, a postcard of marching soldiers and tomorrow's pants (he doesn't want to forget which ones he's already chosen!).

[southeastastra]

aw that's cute nqc, it's weird how children become attached to things

[MrsBigD]

bellaprincess I can probably beat that - dd (5.5) is currently snuggled up in her bed with

5 Bratz Dolls
A snake
2 teddies
3 hippos
her snuggle pillow
a huge panda bear
another huge bear
tigger
pooh
a soft doll

[Pannacotta]

DS1 (2.6) likes his Bob the Builder hard hat at the mo, also his wooden tool kit, various books and bits of lego, cant be very comfortable!

[christywhisty]

DD 9 only happy if she has an unwashed nightie of mine, has even been known to sleep with big brothers sock

She is one of those children with very heightened senses and says she likes the smell, or the feel of clothes.

[alycat]

Flamesparrow, my DS slept with his croclings (crocs with neoprene tops and straps) for weeks after he first got them - I had to keep sneaking them off for a wash so his bed didn't get muddy!

My dd insisted on taking the crane from Bob the Builder to bed with her once - Lofty is it? and woke crying in the night when she couldn't find it. I had to come down and retrieve it for her as my sister had helpfully removed it in case she rolled on it.

Now she sleeps with a box of comics on the bed but she's cut the soft toys down to an Irish doll and something like a strawberry shortcake, a lurid cat and her beloved friend from birth - a strange cross between a lamb and a cat.
