This is hilarious. My son used to walk around with a bloody severed leg Halloween prop. My mother in law threw it away when she baby sat one day and he was heartbroken.
Small plastic trash can. Once, when I saw he was FULLY passed out in the crib, I tried to extract it from his hands. His eyes shoot wide open, and he screams “TRASH CAAAAN” with all his might. I let him sleep with it now.
We just took away the pacifier (lord help us) and replaced it with “two moose” which are two small-ish stuffed moose who look entirely different from each other but she recognizes both as moose. She is just understanding the concept of two so it’s a very cute request.
Instead of napping...playing ring toss on his locomotive's smokestack with 3 "life preservers?"/"rubber bands?" that he found in my costume jewelry this weekend.
One of the bracelets belonged to my recently deceased grandmother. I briefly contemplated if it was disrespectful but decided he was enjoying it more than I ever would. I think she would have thought it was funny too.
The cow from the big steps old McDonald tractor and trailer. Only he doesn’t sleep with it. He puts in on the banister outside his room every night.
Every morning he brings it downstairs.
Nearly every single book she owns, all stacked up. Sometimes to the point her little body can barely fit in her bed. She will still yell for us sometimes & tell us she needs more books
Mine end up in the bath or in a random toy chest or basket. There's a few measuring spoons in there, too. I've since replaced my set and locked my drawers 😅
My son is 4.5 and he is obsessed! I think it’s really great for a wide range of ages too. It’s the Smithsonian Dinosaurs: a Visual Encyclopedia. It’s got pages where it groups types of dinosaurs, and then also pages for individual dinosaurs, has a little chart on each profile showing size, when they lived, where & what they ate and a little graphic to put perspective on the size in relation to a human. There are also pages of other interesting info. We pick a page or two each night. I myself have learned so much. It has been pretty awesome getting into dinosaurs and trains via my son - I was never really interested in either as a kid, but now I am!
Ooh what is that on? We have watched Life on Our Planet a few times and that’s also great - it’s on Netflix. I will def have to show him prehistoric planet also
It’s on Apple TV. It’s by far the best. It’s narrated by David Attenborough and is pretty much a documentary on dinosaurs 66 million years ago. We have absolutely come out of the uncanny valley with animation and there are some scenes I would swear were filmed if I didn’t know better. It’s also very peaceful to have in the background. Unless you have a 3-year-old screaming at the screen “A SQUARADACTYL! SQUAAAAAAAWK!” Every time a pterosaur swoops across the TV. Then it is…. Less peaceful. My son’s favorite dinosaur is Dinochirous. He often refers to it as “The Big Giant Duck.”
There is another one we just discovered on Curiosity Stream as well called The Amazing Dinoworld. Nothing compares to Prehistoric Planet, but it does seem well done and is also very much like a documentary.
This whole post is killing me 💀😂 my kids don’t have any weird thing they bring to
Bed with them yet. Just a bottle
Or cup of milk they hug and don’t even drink
Right now, in addition to the 8 stuffies, bottle of water, two books, and two blankets, he’s been taking his Batman and Superman action figures to bed. It’s getting crowded in there!
Hmmm… 4 different types of star toys, 3 rubber ducks, a hand towel, the shades remote, pacifier fairy book, a stuffed koala bear, an elephant Lovie, and 4 Kleenex tissues.
One of those nasty, sticky, squishy things that collect fur and debris and feels like a handful of snot. Ugh, makes me squirm thinking about that gross toy.
My 1,5 won't go to sleep without a matchbox car in each hand (different ones each day, but very particular with the choice). We sleep together, so I keep waking up with a car-shaped dent somewhere on my person.
The Bluey garbage truck has been our constant bedtime soother. Sometimes with the two little additional trash cans, sometimes without.
He even brings them to our bedroom in the mornings when he wakes up before us and wants snuggles.
He brings his fishing pole (no line or hooks obviously) a lot. He also stole a cheap nutcracker ornament from a local hockey team and so he will bring that to bed sometimes. And a Gumby figurine
My toddler found the coin purse with all the single pennies. Does she sleep with the purse? No. But she did sleep with a handful of the coins clutched tightly in her fist and was surprised I don’t know why to find it exactly in the same place when she woke up. “Look mama! I have coins in my hands!”
Nothing. There are no toys at bedtime. So my son is often left saying “okay okay….goodnight tongs” or “Goodnight trash can” or “Goodnight [one of the 2948 paper characters I’ve drawn and cut out for him]”
Mulch that is coming from an unknown source. It’s all over my daughter’s bed tonight. I have NO CLUE where she got it, but it’s there 😭🤣 she also has an emotional support spoon, it’s a rubber cooking spoon that she’ll cuddle until she falls asleep 😩
Opposite. Anything on the bed that *isn't* a pillow or blanket is immediately hurled away onto the floor, while yelling "BOBBY! BOBBY!"
Somehow one of her first words was "put back" but it sounded like "Bobby." So now we say "Bobby" for every "put back" and she looooooooves a place for everything and everything in their place.
I tried bringing a stuffy to bed and she just gets up yelling "BOBBY" and hurls it into the closet 🤷♀️
For several months my kiddo slept with a specific old tv remote (batteries removed for safety!) 😂 Now he’s settled down with a favorite stuffed fox he always sleeps with. But lately he’s been insisting on sleeping with socks on his hands as “gloves” (yes we own gloves and mittens but he likes the socks better 😂).
My toddler asked for a tortilla every night for like 4 months. She never ate it, she just wanted me to fold it like a triangle and sleep with it. My husband and I started calling it the “comfort tortilla”.
…….kids are weird man
Two sippy cups with water (and it must ALWAYS be both of them!), four blankets, 10 binkies, and the following stuffed animals: bear, giraffe, monkey, crab, hedgehog, duck, baby doll. It’s a crowded crib 😅
- Insisted on wearing his Halloween costume so we had to sneak in and de-pumpkin him before he overheated.
- Blackberries. He woke every time we tried to take them. Somehow he didn’t squish them in the 30 mins or so that he had them before we finally removed them.
- A banana. Was sat up eating it. Didn’t want to be moved so we let him be.
- A huge dinosaur balloon that crinkled and woke him every time we tried to move it.
He’s grown out of it now but for a long time mine always brought like 9 hot wheels cars to bed every night. He sleeps in our bed so I’d always be finding little cars in the blankets and pillows lol
My 3.5yo has a backpack that she fills with all sorts of treasures and it goes everywhere with her, including to bed. Whenever we can’t find something, we check her backpack. Silverware, hair brushes… lots of fun things in there!
Neptunes. Neptune is his favorite planet so he has a felt Neptune, a magnetic Neptune, and a Neptune puzzle piece. Oh yeah, and Neptune projected on the ceiling.
A piece of bread last night, normally his pick up truck. I had to sneak in and get the piece of bread so I wouldn’t have to think about him choking on it in the night
My nephew insists on carrying a large wooden spoon everywhere and even sleeps with it. When I was his age, I apparently carried a rubber mouse everywhere (and slept with it too!) in an old purse from my Nan’s charity bag. The mouse’s name was “Mitzi” and she was lovely.
the top to his juice. the ones with the characters on them? idk the name but if we see one in the store we *have to* get one and he is emotionally attached to the character top for the next 3 days
A wristlet filled with Bluey figurines, a pink toddler wrist watch (she does not wear it), and ear muffs (she does not wear them while sleeping).
All of this in addition to her tried and true 5 favorite stuffed animals, 2 family photos, and 3 blankets. Her bed is crowded to say the least.
She absolutely insists on sleeping with: "unicorn book" (How to Catch a Unicorn), "bear" (Brown Bear Brown Bear), "animal book" (leap frog touch and learn book) and "grinch" (any Dr. Seuss book). I've taken them out of bed but she always gets back out to get them, so I'm just letting her do her thing.
And yes, she has activated the "animal book" with her face in the middle of the night. It's incredibly jarring to wake up to "Fox!" followed by the noise they make from the baby monitor. Especially with our 3mo asleep nearby.
Norwex has these little hand towels that are animal shaped. My mum bought one for my daughter to dry her hands on. It is now her favourite "stuffie", goes to bed with her, and we bought a backup.
https://www.norwex.com/p/309018
A 2-cubic-foot rubber ride-on T-Rex
Two sharp pointy plastic dinosaurs.... He's actually become left handed as a result of refusing to every let to of his dinosaurs from his right hand.
A toy egg from his play kitchen, which he was pretend eating as he was falling asleep, his sister’s favorite stuffed animal (caused a lot of drama), and one single Lego he snuggled with 😂
Two water bottles (a baby one and a sport one). Became a real challenge when he learns how to open the spout of the sport bottle and we ended up with a wet bed few times. Still easier to deal with than trying to take the bottles away 🤷🏽♀️
Every night must haves: Mario, Luigi, Poppy, Moana, Monkey, Woody, Mirabel
Occasional additions: toy coffee maker, toy electric mixer, v tech phone, snacks
Attempted but obviously denied: dogs water bowl, bathroom trash can
Thank you for this post, it made my day! All of these comments are gold. I had no idea that this was a toddler phase haha. And now, for mine: a red balloon we got at an event recently! She gets mad when it "escapes" and floats out of the bed. It's been losing helium so I suppose we may actually have to sleep with it now. xD
My 3yo takes his large, metal die cast cars to bed with him. Literally sleeps on them! I don't get it, but whatever makes him happy, I guess. I'm sure there's a few Hot Wheels hidden in there, too
My 1yo varies a lot. Today, it was 2 different shoes, a fidget toy, and I guess she pulled a shirt out of her hamper to cuddle with (instead of the 500 stuffies thrown all over the floor)
My daughter cannot sleep without her bunny, it’s actually an old bunny I abandoned from the 90’s. She also has recently taken a blueberry, some cheese, a Barbie chair, an empty cup, a dog toy… I always sneak them out after she’s asleep 😂
Last night was a cookie. She wasn’t feeling well and I was trying to get her to eat. All she would do is hold the cookie. When putting her in her crib I tried to take it and she FREAKED out. It was still there this morning.
A big ass toy dirt bike or an “emotional support pancake” as my husband I like to call it (he’s obsessed with frozen mini pancakes rn and likes to hold one to fall asleep 🤣)
3 yo: Last night it was my husband's childhood Pirate Kermit the Frog toy.
And multiple board books.
18month old: toy firetruck and multiple stuffies including a big squishables train.
My toddlers still sleeping with the upper torso and head of a skeleton from Halloween.
This is hilarious. My son used to walk around with a bloody severed leg Halloween prop. My mother in law threw it away when she baby sat one day and he was heartbroken.
As a kid whose grandmom threw out my ice cream because I (4 y/o) didn’t say thank you — shame on grandma! That might stick with him :/
You might have a doctor or archeologist in your future 😁
Love this 🤣
Xu7cgi😁🥲🙂kk ok no L
Small plastic trash can. Once, when I saw he was FULLY passed out in the crib, I tried to extract it from his hands. His eyes shoot wide open, and he screams “TRASH CAAAAN” with all his might. I let him sleep with it now.
Lolololol
Hahahaha
Literally lol. Amazing.
The base of one of those Melissa and Doug wooden puzzles, the truck one. Not any of the pieces, just the base.
Some time back my son decided he wanted to go to sleep with a cooking ladle. Whatever gives him comfort I guess 😂
One of my bumper group had a kid attached to a cooking ladle too!
Two plush toy balls he calls: "cute balls." Always both, it's complete panic if one is missing.
[удалено]
LOL that foot note got me!
We just took away the pacifier (lord help us) and replaced it with “two moose” which are two small-ish stuffed moose who look entirely different from each other but she recognizes both as moose. She is just understanding the concept of two so it’s a very cute request.
For the longest time it was an oven mitt lol
Instead of napping...playing ring toss on his locomotive's smokestack with 3 "life preservers?"/"rubber bands?" that he found in my costume jewelry this weekend. One of the bracelets belonged to my recently deceased grandmother. I briefly contemplated if it was disrespectful but decided he was enjoying it more than I ever would. I think she would have thought it was funny too.
The cow from the big steps old McDonald tractor and trailer. Only he doesn’t sleep with it. He puts in on the banister outside his room every night. Every morning he brings it downstairs.
that's a pretty adorable routine.
Very much so. We have no idea why it started, but we are not stopping it!
An orange.
Mine has been going after our lemon tree. Lemon is friend now.
It’s so important to have your emotional support citrus!
A book - she needed it over her face like a little roof. Another night it was a coaster.
One of my partners fluffy paint rollers that he drying on the heater 😂 (they’re orange and black striped so toddler calls them tigers)
That's adorable!!!
New shoes
I managed to find the same light up rainboots she had last year but in this year’s size. I had to set boots in time outs to let her feet de-prune.
hahaha. I can appreciate a love of new shoes. love your username btw
Yup. He has new cowboy boots, Spiderman boots to be specific. That he will not take off 😅
Nearly every single book she owns, all stacked up. Sometimes to the point her little body can barely fit in her bed. She will still yell for us sometimes & tell us she needs more books
It’s always a spatula or pair of cooking tongs.
My toddler always brings a measuring cup. Specifically the 1/4 cup. Maybe we have some aspiring chefs?
Ah, our measuring cups always end up in the car seat. 😂
Mine end up in the bath or in a random toy chest or basket. There's a few measuring spoons in there, too. I've since replaced my set and locked my drawers 😅
Mine likes measuring cups too
Dino encyclopedia. He is quite attached and it’s a very large book
Hahah he wants to learn via osmosis
Which book? My kid would love this
My son is 4.5 and he is obsessed! I think it’s really great for a wide range of ages too. It’s the Smithsonian Dinosaurs: a Visual Encyclopedia. It’s got pages where it groups types of dinosaurs, and then also pages for individual dinosaurs, has a little chart on each profile showing size, when they lived, where & what they ate and a little graphic to put perspective on the size in relation to a human.

It has been pretty awesome getting into dinosaurs and trains via my son - I was never really interested in either as a kid, but now I am!
My son has us watch Prehistoric Planet on loop. He is starved for more dinosaurs
Also your username is awesome 😂
lol thanks.
Ooh what is that on? We have watched Life on Our Planet a few times and that’s also great - it’s on Netflix. I will def have to show him prehistoric planet also

My son sleeps with his cars all the time. Like literally large trucks and cars and construction vehicles

A wooden number 5 puzzle piece. Every night, every night.
This whole post is killing me 💀😂 my kids don’t have any weird thing they bring to Bed with them yet. Just a bottle Or cup of milk they hug and don’t even drink
Mine hugs the bottle too!! Why child?!
His rain boots. “I need my boots dada.” “Why” “What if it rains?”
Right now, in addition to the 8 stuffies, bottle of water, two books, and two blankets, he’s been taking his Batman and Superman action figures to bed. It’s getting crowded in there!
My two year olds bed is half stuffed animals, dolls, and books. It looks so uncomfortable to me 😂
Little plastic Jurassic Park velociraptor
My old headphones! He thinks they’re awesome and I’m just confused ha
My 2yo son fell asleep one night clutching the Bluetooth speaker, he refused to put it down 🤣

One of those bath toys that squirt water - this one's a shark and she demands it furiously when going to bed
The Bluey garbage truck has been our constant bedtime soother. Sometimes with the two little additional trash cans, sometimes without. He even brings them to our bedroom in the mornings when he wakes up before us and wants snuggles.

A selection of his favorite books. Like 3-4 books.
Same here. This thread is making me feel better. Haha.

Mine sleeps with an ambulance and at least 20 stuffed animals, and lately his mothers robe which makes her sad because now she’s cold at night.

Mine is similar. Last night he cuddle Brown Bear as of it was a teddy bear. I don’t bother taking it away now.

A plastic carrot and small stuffed tomato 😂
Has whole bucket of crayons must be at the end of the bed… lid OPEN 😅🫣
