Cuddle Buddies

From birth, Noah has slept with his favorite pal, Monkey.

Then there was the "pots and pans obsession" phase, during which Noah insisted on cuddling with a pot at night.

Those were the simple days.

Currently, Noah's mandatory cuddle buddies at both nighttime and naptime, are:

• Monkey
• Froggie
• Big Baby
• Little Baby
• 3 little stuffed monkeys (called "baby chimps")
• 1 small bottle of bubbles with a monkey lid (called "4 baby chimp")
• 1 rocket bath toy
• 1 tube of Little Einsteins toothpaste (affectionately called "Leo, Annie, June, Quincy and Rocket"
• 1 wooden baton
• 3 miniature stuffed animals - a lion, an elephant, and a zebra
• whichever book or 2 which was most recently read
  

Noah also requires that Ben say "goodnight" to all of the above before exiting the room.

So far Sam's only requirement is his turtle fur blanket. Although we do put his stuffed frog in with him just in case.
