Not Me!

Aiden has about 8 stuffed things that sleep on his bed with him every night. We decided (because he tends to play with them all night long) that it was time to narrow the selection to 2 or 3. Of course, he has his regular pillow, "grandma's" pillow (the one embroidered for him by my mom), and teddy (his best friend, no doubt). So tonight we told him he could pick a couple more of his things to sleep with, but we needed to put some of them in the closet. I asked him "Who do you want to have sleep in the closet?" and his response was a concerned, almost teary, "Not Me!"
