It's Bedtime!

Beckett has always been a great sleeper and since he was 3 months old, we never had to rock or pat him to sleep.  He has always just gone down and fallen asleep on his own and generally sleeps 10-12 hours each night (I know, I know... I totally just jinxed myself for when baby number 2 arrives so I'm pretty sure we will be completely sleep deprived and hating life in a few months thanks to this post).  Anyway, most kids have a "comfort" toy or blanket that helps them fall asleep better and believe me, I tried to get him attached to something but he never was interested in any sort of comfort toy.  For a while he had Lamby and Owl but honestly that was more for me to feel like "a good mom offering my child a soft comfort in my absence" (notice the sarcasm) but after he was a year old, I found them outside of his crib hucked across the bedroom every morning so I gave up.  Here are some of the random items Beckett has taken to bed on any given night:
  • Richard Scary Things That Go book (AKA: His Goldbug Book)
  • The plastic case to my mouth guard he put coins in and now calls his piggy bank
  • Fisher Price plastic golf club (He prefers the putter)
  • Toy Story Lego Train
  • Lightning McQueen Matchbox car
  • The Curious George Storybook Treasury he got from Matt
  • Stuffed Curious George monkey dressed in pajamas (that is about the most normal thing he's slept with so far!) 
  • A pair of yellow scissors (kid friendly!)
  • A large plastic Rhino from Brycen
  • Triceratops plastic dinosaur from the zoo
  • McDonald's Spider Man Toy
  • A rock from the side yard
  • A dried up worm from under his water table (I'm not even joking... That never happened again! UGH!)
  • His new black basketball from Grandma Mel
  • A booger (So he tells me with a huge grin on his face)
  • A small blue plastic camera toy he got in one of his birthday party treat bags
  • His new green crocs
  • And tonight he wanted to take his indoor tent to bed!!!
Is my kid weird or what? :)
