What have you found in your toddlers bed?

[Rouge]

Back in the day DS was the bed stasher. We'd find all sorts of really hard plastic toys from transformers to cars to you name it. I used to say it was like a dragon sleeping on his hoard of gold. I still don't understand how bumblebee is in anyway shape or form comfortable to sleep with. Let alone Thomas and all his friends. These days he hides his washing I his bed so he doesn't have to take it to the laundry. I generally do a search before bed. One day I found all his neatly folded washing under his doona at the end of the bed (that he was supposed to put away). He tried to reason with me saying it stops him from messing up his drawers and his feet don't reach them so it stay neat. Um no. So sad to say. Once a bed hoarder always a bed hoarder

DD on the other hand was a bit of a neat freak. Her place of stashing was her bedside table and there would be a place for everything. And if something she wanted wasn't there it was panic stations and she wouldn't sleep till it was relocated and in its spot.

Although she was a food hoarder... In her mouth. I won't go there though. It's too gross and I'm sure you want to keep your breakfast down

Thank you Rouge ... thank you!

The funniest thing I ever saw was a bed hoarder who obviously woke up uncomfortable and took their pillow and slept on the floor!

My son has a tendency to hold onto "treats" for quite some time before actually eating them. He rarely gets sweet stuff, so I think he likes to make it last, hehe. One night he wanted to have one of the apricot balls my Mum had brought over. They are basically made out of dried apricot, condensed milk and dessicated coconut. I gave him half of one and he insisted on holding it while we did his bedroom routine. Then he took it to bed. I assumed he would eat it when I left the room. Wrong! I went in later to check on him and had to removed the sticky apricot ball from his fingers and hair! Eww!

Removing playdoh from under his head was fun one night as well haha.

He used to like to choose a couple of toys to take to bed with him (usually small ones, but a huge toy or toy would occasionally get an invite). Luckily he's gotten out of that habit now and thebiggest problem we have is trying to keep him under a blanket with the colder weather approaching.

Haha This thread is awesome so so funny.

DS1 sleeps with

2 pillows
1 doona
1 blanket
1 quilt (yes all and he in warm weather sweats so bad but wont sleep until covered over sp we need to go and remove it all once asleep, good for winter thought)
2 seahorses thats bellys light up and play music! (my parents gave him 1 for 1st bday it was starting to fall apart and look a bit worse for wear when he was 2 and 1/2 and we bought him a new one but he insited in keeping BOTH)
1 nemo soft tall
1 alien form toy story stuffed toy
1 Wags the dog
1 santa soft toy
1 highland cow soft toy
until a few months ago was also a copy of his party invite for his buzz party he had last year but it got ripped LOL
Also 2 weeks ago he was screaming 1 night after I put him to bed and I went to see what was wrong and he gave me a blue penguin and told me to "take it to lounge its sick and cant stay here LOL" poor penguin never been invited back since.

All of these must be in specific places around him and if you even dream of forgetting 1 he knows and asks for it!!

Also regularly have other toys like trains and trucks in bed with him 2.

DS2 Must have pillow
Must have 4 blankets with wiggles 1 on top (he has these off within 10 mins of falling asleep and to recover him wakes him up)
Must have CD player on with accoustic lullabys
1 stuffed penguin
1 seahorse like his brothers.

ME I just want space with no child in bed for a whole night!

At my sister's house tonight, so DD went to sleep in sister's bed without her usual plethora of toys. But she still managed to take with her one of her beloved Miffys (yellow, JIC you're wondering), a Disney Fairies torch and a calculator... all safely contained in a little zippered case thing

[~~Snoogans~~]

okay tonight it was ALL her pencils and markers as well as colouring books!

I'm pretty much just waiting to find her drum kit in bed with her!

[~Hestia~]

these are too funny!

Tonight I was reminded that I'm always surprised if I find Moo in his bed...he is usually on the floor curled up under his bed! Now he has a different bed that he can't fit under he just lays next to it
