Lee's habit of taking things to bed with her has been going on so long that it never occurred to me to write it down, but I just realized that someday we'll look back and think "remember when she used to...."
I'm not sure when or how it started, but she really likes to sleep with an assortment of special things each night. Sometimes they are toys that she is playing with, like plastic animals, Polly Pockets, or pieces from her tea set. Sometimes she requests things that are downright dangerous, like pencils or scissors or especially pointy things. Those we tend to veto. And sometimes they're just random. I remember one night I was cleaning my glasses with one of those microfiber cloths, and she asked me "Mommy, can I sleep with that tonight?" I think she slept with the cloth for two or three days before I reclaimed it.
Last night it was a little statue of a Minuteman and a piece of ribbon. Tonight after a trip to Trader Joe's, she took to bed one of those jars of honey in the shape of a bear (new and unopened).
