Max’s Blanket

Ernie carried Max up to bed tonight, but before he could take Max upstairs he asked a question that gets asked at least 5 times a day at our house:

“Where’s Max’s blanket?”

All of my kids have been “blanket-draggers”. Little Ernie was addicted to his receiving blankets.

Nigel is still highly attached to “Cowboy”.

Emmaline can’t sleep without her pink blanket and she gets mad when I wash it because she likes the way it smells. Yep- the smell. Apparently washing it takes away some aroma that she meticulously cultivates.

And then Max. He has carried his blanket to the point of disintegration. I keep meaning to restitch it so that it doesn’t actually fall apart, but I can’t seem to get it away for him long enough.

my kids are all attached to blankets, too. and they're not necessarily the ones i'd choose for them to be attached to. i had to physically remove emma's blanket from within her grasp a couple years ago. it was disintegrating. i put it away for safe-keeping- with many tears. :(
