The Bowl

Most kids have blankies or teddy bears. When they go to bed they have to have that special blanky or bear. Some kids might even sleep with a hot wheel or a toy of that type. Not Paden. Paden's cuddly of choice is his bowl. This all started last December when Paden got sick. He started throwing up in the middle of the night so I got the biggest bowl I could find and put it next to his bed. Every time he needed it it was right there. Well Paden started getting sick monthly. Every 3rd Saturday of the month he would wake up in the middle of the night and start throwing up. The bowl became a permanent fixture in the bed and now he has it every night. I try to put other things in his bed instead, things a little easier to cuddle with, but he wants the bowl. The habit I think should be an easier one to break. Hopefully he will just outgrow the bowl. He won't want to take it to slumber parties. Anyway, I have a few pictures of Paden and his bowl for your enjoyment. I also included a demonstration video. I hope this makes you all feel a little better about any little quirks that your kids might have. Just tell yourself, "It could be worse. He could sleep with a bowl".

Tagged. Wanna hear some quirks?

I have been tagged. I am to tell everyone 6 quirks about myself. I hesitate in doing this only because I don't have that many friends and the last thing I want to do is freak them all out and have them stop talking to me. Just kidding. My friends are great. Anyway, I am supposed to tag 6 other people as well but I am only going to say if you want to do this tag, do it. I won't make any of you. Now, on to the quirks.

#1- I have a little bit of the OCD. When I put my makeup on I have to hold the containers just so. Otherwise I can't do my makeup because I am so distracted by the fact that the container is being held wrong.

#2- I can't stand it when someone touches the bed after it has been made. It wrinkles the blankets and makes it look messy!

#3- Pictures HAVE to be straight. I can't concentrate on anything else if a picture is crooked. There is a restaurant in Troutdale that I used to go to and inside one of the pictures was a medalion that was crooked. It drove me crazy because I couldn't straighten it. I am actually starting to hyperventilate thinking about it.

#4- I have to have my feet covered when I can't see them. It freaks me out wondering what could be even close to my feet. Never sneak up on me and touch my feet. This does not affect foot massages. I still love those!

#5- I can usually spot a spider winthin seconds of being in a room. I do a quick sweep with my eyes. I can't help it. I hate spiders and I can't function if I see one. I spend the whole time staring at because I don't want it to get anywhere near me.

#6- This quirk only a couple of people know about and if you disclose it, Becki or Lindsey, I WILL kill you!!!

I hope that this hasn't changed any of your minds about me. Though I don't know how you can't look at me differently now. That's what I get for being honest. I hope you all have enjoyed this and I hope that you too will do this tag. It is kind of refreshing in a humiliating way!
