Blankie

i have always been a “blankie” person.

i’d rather curl up with a blanket than a pillow.

so when andrew was a baby, i conducted an experiment.

i tried to get andrew attached to a blanket.

i picked out a soft, blue and yellow blanket.  and as he grew i always had the blanket close.

and you know?  my experiment worked!  he was attached. 

he also had a binky.

and the two went together.   

but the blankie wasn’t just a blankie.  it was a blankie with a tag. 

andrew would play with the tag as he went to sleep.

i began to think he was more attached to the tag then the blankie.

it was pretty cute.

 

well, when the binky “broke” the blankie wasn’t as needed anymore.

which was fine.

but every once in a while, andrew still asks for his blankie.

   and the tag.

the tag is just harder to find now.

but he does.

i'm not sure how.
