For months now, Addison has been leaving things outside her bedroom door after she's laid down for bed. Kind of an oddity and we had no idea why she was doing it. One afternoon I found several stuffed animals after she was "supposedly" laying down for a nap. Usually it's been socks at bedtime. So last night it happened again. We went through our bedtime routine of potty, brushing teeth, and story. I had gone about my business afterward and happened to pass by her door awhile after she had gone to bed. There were two pink polka dot socks laying just outside her door. I asked Greg if he had seen them when he left her room earlier and he said no. So she had gotten out of bed to put her socks out. Kind of like a reverse St. Nick's night. Tonight, after reading her story to her Greg came in to tell her good night and our mystery was solved when she told us exactly why she was putting her socks out. One thing you should know about Addison is that she does not like to sleep with socks on. So that was part of the mystery. If I don't remove them before leaving her, it's almost a sure thing that I will be summoned to return in about 10 minutes to remove them. Anyway, she told us tonight that she had taken her socks off last night and put them out of her room because they were stinky and she didn't want to have to smell them while she was trying to sleep. Huh. I guess that makes sense. She's a smart kid. That doesn't explain why the animals were out at naptime, but she did tell me then that they were making too much noise and bouncing around on the bed. I guess they didn't understand about quiet time. That's the trouble with animals stuffed with fluff.
