To think that this is it...and DS2 has really lost the plot??

[TheLadyEvilStar]

He has gone to bed tonight with..........

2 books
his taggy
the kitten
3 cars
and his shoes on

I feel quite miffed that this is so common .

I have found various things in dd's bed

3 coat hangers
7 books.
teddies
tissues
dressing gown
numerous toys
instruments
duplo
blankets

The boys just have their teddies .

Sounds pretty normal to me!

My Sons bed last night had....

books
cars
locks
various small tools
tourch
waterbottle - cold
shoes
school uniform (which he was wearing)
floor cushion
and 4 blankets.

DD def the worst of the 2 lol

When she was 18 months I bought a msallish pumpkin at the supermarket for Halloween, she wouldn't be seperated from said pumpkin , she slept with it, bathed with it etc for about 3 weeks

I think the weirdest thing ds has taken with him is a pineapple.

DS, 4 in Dec, last night woke me at 1am because he couldn't find his sleeping sunglasses. Yes, he will go to sleep wearing sunglasses.

The night before last there was a huge meltdown about a pencil. It is a half sized HB and it is the only one he wants to tuck behind his ear at bedtime. He has a 4 metre square room crammed with toys - I had fun finding that one.

The biggest problem is books for him. I have had to hold a sleeping DS in one arm while making a hole for him in the pile of books with the other so that the duvet can at least get involved. The record we have found on his bed (pre bedtime trying to use reason) was - no word of a lie or exaggeration - 201 books. DS insisted on counting (and we didn't think he could count that high).

When I became pregnant I didn't realise bedtime could be so interesting.

201!!!

DD is opposite & most nights will not tolerate ANYTHING on the bed at all apart from one pillow & duvet. Though strangely and very occasionally she will insist on teddy - though she will then wake up at some point & eject him too. She does occasionally want to sleep in a fav dress [hgrin]
