Obviously, this is starting to wear on me and Ryan. It's like going back to 6-month-old Sammy, and he's almost 2 years old. We've tried to be creative in finding ways to convince him to go back to sleep in his own bed. (As opposed to the pack and play. He is NOT allowed to sleep in our bed.)
Sam's into stuffed animals now. One of the ways I like to get him to lay down and stay down is to snuggle him up with his stuffed animal ENTOURAGE.
Leader of the gang and Sammy's best friend. Only animal whose name Sammy can say (though it sounds like "snuk!")
Sock Monkey
Likes to dance. His theme song: "Sock monkey/The funky monkey" (sung to the tune of Brass Monkey, because Mommy liked the Beastie Boys in high school)
Blue Sock Monkey
Sock Monkey's funky, chunky cousin. He gives Sammy hugs with his velcro paws.
Pooh Bear
Nice and soft. Sammy's oldest friend on the crew.
Ringo Dingo
Actually a zebra. Head is twisted at an odd angle that gives Mommy the creeps. Sammy loves it.
The Crew
When I was a little kid, I used to be terrified that snakes would get in our house, slither up the stairs to my room, and jump into my bed. This was horrifying. (Wouldn't it be?) I got great satisfaction from positioning my "Jake bear" and a pillow shaped like Simba from The Lion King at the end of my bed to guard from serpentine intruders. I don't know whose idea that was, mine or my mom's. All I know is that it worked. So if Sam needs an entourage of stuffed animals to accompany him to bed...
... who am I to refuse?

Cute. But Blue Sock Monkey is way creepy!
I used to sleep with so many stuffed animals and dolls that you couldn't find me! :-)
