Clayton Bradley

the laughs never stop with this little guy - I am sure I could bore you all with something cute he says everyday - but the comment he made last night does deserve mention. Clayton likes to stay up and every night he asks us if he can stay up. Last night we let him stay up, but when it was time to go to bed he protested (normal). Stevan put him in his bed, said goodnight and came to bed. I don't think we were in bed more than 10 minutes when we heard a knock at our door and then slowly open. Clayton came in telling us that he had fallen asleep and woke up because he had a bad dream!!! He wanted to sleep with us. No way - we have had a rule in our house that no kid is allowed to sleep in the bed with us. We have had kids sleep on the floor next to the bed, on the foot of the bed, but this normally breaks them of wanting to sleep with us as they aren't allowed IN the bed. Stevan told him that there was no way he fell asleep and had a dream in the short 10 miinutes since he had been put in bed, then took him back to his room. He told Stevan he couldn't go to sleep in his bed because there were snakes in his bed...Stripes sleeps next to his bed in a terrarium... so Stevan said, no Stripes is in his bed - you need to get in yours.


Clayton protested again saying that there was a snake in his bed and that he couldn't sleep there...He pulled back his covers and we found this.......



He had put his stuffed snake in his bed!!!!! Stevan pulled the snake out and sent him to bed :) Gotta love him for trying.

OH my gosh, the same exact thing happens to us all the time! Jax, who is 4, will be in bed for maybe 10 minutes like Clayton, then we start hearing little pitter patter of feet walking toward the door... and he too will say "um I had a bad dream" and we will say the same thing back to him that Stevan said, but then we will have a break down, so he ends up sleeping on the floor next to me at least once a week!!!!!
Way to go Clayton, for trying though-smart boy!!!! Those snakes do look alike!!!!

Hahaha, that is too cute. Debby was telling me about it and we laughed so hard. He is a smart little cookie.
