Sharing her bed

Since we switched Lily to her toddler bed in January, she has requested that most (if not all) of her stuffed animals and dolls be in bed with her at night. It hasn't been a big deal...they usually just get stacked at the end of the bed, out of the way. After, of course, they all get a hug and a kiss along with her.

A couple months ago, she decided she also needed a million blankets to sleep with. As the weather has warmed up, she hasn't relinquished any of the blankets. She must be Erik's child because when it gets hot, I rarely even use the sheet but he's curling up in our down comforter and would probably grab another blanket if I let him. But she has us pile on at least 6, yes SIX, blankets every night. There are some things it's just not worth fighting over, and I figure if she gets too hot during the night, she'll just kick them off.

These two odd behaviors I could accept without two much trouble. To each their own, right? But last week, she decided to add her GINORMOUS teddy bear into the mix. This bear is bigger than she is and usually lives on the floor by her dresser. One night, she decided she wanted to sleep with him, and since I'd already been trying to get her to sleep for quite a while, I went with it. He hasn't moved since. This morning when I went to wake her up, this was the scene that greeted me:


It looks like I was right and the blankets get kicked off, but what do you do when the teddy bear gets more mattress space than Lily?
