Josh Oliver is a hoarder--especially when he goes to bed.
Some nights I think that he just grabs anything and everything he can get his hands on to pile up in his bed.
It varies from night to night, but generally he has several animals, his drawing board, a blanket and many, many books.
I don't really care what he takes to bed because usually the more stuff he has in his bed the better he goes to bed. He can draw or study the pages in his books for a long time until he finally falls asleep.
The problem is really when he wakes up in the middle of the night.
No matter how sleepy he is, he insists on moving everything from his bed into our bed. That means at 3:00 in the morning I first get a pillow and a blanket thrown over me, then some books, then animals, then some more books before he's finally ready to climb into bed himself. Some nights it takes up to 6 or 7 trips before he's gotten it all in.
There's really no use trying to convince him that he doesn't actually need to bring everything in. It only prolongs the process!
