Whats the most unusual/cutest thing your child brings to bed

Sid the Rat! That's wonderful!
Alex would go nuts over that- but he didn't get into Flushed Away until recently- he is obsessed with plumbing and all of the characters!
Sid is pretty cool

Christopher sleeps with dozens of stuffed animals in his bed, 6-7 blankets and as many pillows and couch cushions he can fit on top of him. He also brings to bed whatever toy he's got, usually a piece of train track, or a chip-clip.

My Jake sleeps with his WWE guys and DVDs. He almost never uses his bed he likes a fouton on the floor. He's just discovored soft toys and the are creeping in to the mix.

Whatever it is she is attached to at that point in time whether it is a group of toys that have to be together or a single toy/object.

She ALWAYS has clifford, nak water (a hot water bottle that is filled with COLD water LOL, never changed she just likes to have it in her bed) and a few other soft toys.

She often has a pile of books on her bed and usually several hard plastic cars, often her large plastic hard wall-e toy (i hate that thing and it cannot be comfy to sleep with!) often she'll have a utensil (mixing spoon, spatula or the like) and a couple of weeks ago she was talking the Febreeze bottle to bed with her every night. Oh she often takes her big ball with her too. She used to HAVE to have 3 squares ot toilet paper (now it's 4 because she's 4, but not every night anymore) and she often takes 3 or 4 cylinder shaped wooden blocks with her.

It all depends on what she is attached to at that point in time, it changes but with a few things that always have to be there.

My daughter is now 6 and has switched to stuffed animals surrounding her whole body, but when she was 3 she slept with a Kiplingers magazine...she also carried the Kiplingers magazine with her everywhere she went. Her preschool teacher had to promise to talk about stock ticker symbols during the day to get her to stop taking it to school.

When I look back at it now, I wonder how I missed the AS until she was in kindergarten! A 3 year old with a ticker symbol obsession is a little quirky I guess:)

Funny related story...her third Halloween we were trick or treating and a neighbor had covered their bushes with spiders and webs. She looked at me and said

"Mommy, do those people think they're being scary?"

"Well honey I think so, they have their bushes all covered in spiders and webs!"

"Do you think they realize that spiders aren't really scary? They're just exchange traded funds!" (SPDRs)

For all the work it takes to raise her, I have to admit I get more laughs from her unique way of thinking:)

Our 3-year-old always cuddles with his blue baby blanket, which he calls "Twinkey." But there's usually his book du jour (Green Eggs and Ham the past couple months) laying nearby, as well as his stuffed Barney toy, which sometimes gets tossed from the bed but sometimes stays through the night depending on Lucas's mood.

Um... I'm not a parent, but I used to sleep with rocks in my bed. Of course I wasn't cuddling them, but I had them lying at the foot of the bed. And got VERY upset if someone tried to take them away. I always chose the rocks I was currently interested in. I grew out of that habit, but on a geological excursion I found a nice retro-eclogite (in museum-like quality) that's almost compelling me to start again...

The other night my son wanted to take a dead mouse to bed with him.

The cat caught and killed the mouse, then walked away from it. The dog then started playing with it. My son went into the garden, saw the dog with the mouse in her mouth so he grabbed the tail of the mouse and pulled it out of the dog's mouth, and ran into the house with it, dog at his heels. I chased them out of the house while the cat sat with her usual expression of distain!

Cat, dog, dead mouse and 7 year old boy - fun for all the family!

I have an L shaped pillow and the standard I shape pillow.

I spoon with the I shaped pillow with the L-shaped one under my head and against my back. Very comforting.

eeyore710, that is so cute! Sounds like something my daughter would say.

I forgot to mention her alarm clock (the old fashioned kind) it doesn't have batteries, but it goes to bed with her every night.

For about a month my AS dd brought a loaf of hard artisan bread to bed with her when she was 4. She carried it everywhere and called it "brother." LOL

I have Asperger's syndrome but I don't remember ever taking anything particularly odd to bed with me.

My younger brother, however, who also has AS, went through a phase of taking a very heavy and chunky foot-long metal bolt to bed with him every day.

Did I say "used to"? I'm sorry. Apparently for her, bread is an obsession that comes and goes. She took a loaf of artisan bread off the counter yesterday and asked if she could eat it. I said yes. (it was getting hard anyway) As she's walking by me, she stares slowly at the bread in her arms and says, "Actually, I'm going to just hold it for awhile ok?"

Later she started calling it Rocky and J.J. interchangeably. It went to bed with her last night, tucked right up next to her.

This morning I woke up to screaming and crying. She was hysterical in her room. Her younger sister had woken up before her and taken a couple bites out of J.J. I cannot tell you how distraught she was. It was nearly an hour before she calmed down. And only then, because I promised to buy her another loaf of bread. LOL

*Giggles* That's so cute!

I love that!
