A few weeks ago concerned staff at Thomas's daycare mentioned to us that Thomas was holding on to his shoes while he napped and suggested that perhaps he needed a lovey. We promptly sent in a small blue teddy bear. Thomas hadn't really chosen a special toy, but Blue Bear seemed to fit the bill for naptime: soft, cuddly, huggable.Today Blue Bear came home. Why? Apparently Thomas prefers to sleep with his shoes. He eats his lunch, says, "All done. Sleep." and walks over to his cot where he waits patiently for someone to take off his shoes. He lays down, says "Shoe, shoe," then cuddles the shoes to his chest and goes to sleep.
They say they've never seen anything quite like it before. Leave it to Thomas.
At least they're cute shoes.
