Just a Few Essential Cuddling Items...Alarm Clock, Flashlight...and a Hanger??


We all realize Cade is quite a character, right? Here's just one more thing to add to the list! Cade has recently switched out of his crib (sob) and into a "big boy bed". He has adjusted fairly well to this new change. However he does have his moments. So like the good parent I am, I bribe him to stay in bed. Long story short I bought him a flashlight so he could use it in his "dark" room. This, along with his portable alarm clock with an indiglo light are his cuddling must haves before he can fall asleep. And when I say cuddle I mean when I go to check on him he is clutching them like a normal child would cuddle a soft teddy bear.

The nightly routine is that I usually go check on him and turn his flashlight off and set that and the clock on the floor or at the foot of the bed so he can reach it in the middle of the night. (YES, he calls out "clock!" or "flashlight" in his sleep if he loses grasp of it) So then I readjust his blankets and tuck them into the sides so he doesn't fall out of the bed.

A few nights ago as I was doing this I felt something hard in the blankets. A wire hanger.


??????????????????


Number one: Where did he get it?

Number two: Why did he make it yet another "snuggly toy" when he already has two non-"snuggly" toys?


Oh well. Can't wait to see what else ends up in his bed. Perhaps a screwdriver? or a spatula?
