What do you find in a three and a half year old's bed?

I attempted to change Fington's bedsheets yesterday. I knew he had a lot in his bed, but I wasn't expecting it to be this much. This is a week's worth of stuff. No wonder he climbs into our bed some nights, it's because there's hardly any room in his own.

Old habits die hard, he was also storing stuff in his bed when he was two if you remember. Worryingly there's more this time. How long is it going to continue for? What will I find in his bed when he's sixteen? Actually don't answer that. I really don't want to know.

 

So what was in his bed? A plastic sword, several Mr Men books, one of Little Girl's hair grips, several comics, half the Hotwheels track, a range of Lego, some overdue library books, Buzz Lightyear, a shaker he made at pre-school, several Beast Quest books, a Transformer foam missile launcher, a Santa hat, a plastic arrow, a wand, a pencil sharpener shaped like a shark, a fake plastic iPod, two moneyboxes (one with coins in), a guide to birdwatching, a wooden rocket he painted himself, his dressing gown, an Armouron helmet, a cuddly monkey and a broken plane. And two sketchbooks.

I forgot to take a photo of the teddy which is almost the same size of him too.

No sign of the Greek dictionary this time.

Needless to say Fington was very upset when I emptied his bed and once the clean sheets were back on everything got piled into his bed again.

Oh well, keeps it off the floor I guess.
