At the start of Caroline's life we had 40 blankets and have slowly sifted through the masses and have settled on one blanket- Pink Blanket . We leave it at home unless we are traveling overnight so it has stayed intact for the most part. Since starting at her new school Caroline has requested to take her pink blanket. At first I didn't let her but after a week I gave in. It really seemed to calm her down and let her go right into class without tears. Ms. Deborah is so sweet and lets Caroline hold onto it during breakfast and then again at nap. The rest of the time ole' pinky stays in her cubbie. When I pick Caroline up everyday she runs to get that her blanket, grabs my hand and we go home. After a month and half of daycare that blanket is starting to look rough.
Every other day Pink Blanket gets washed right when get home otherwise it smells aweful. Our new washer has a great feature where I can wash a small load for 15 mins & the dry time is 20 minutes. I throw in a few of the girls clothes so those don't get piled up. When I start the washer Caroline watches to make sure Pink Blanket is safe. She does this EVERYTIME.
Pink Blanket is usually finished washing by dinner and Caroline will put it on her bed so it is ready for bedtime. Not sure how long she will need Pink Blanket or how long it will stay intact.
Ali is climbing on everything & has the bruises to prove it.

Ali is thinking she likes that baby in the mirror.
I still have my blanket (I don't sleep with it anymore, but it is soo worn with lots of holes). Let her keep it as long as she wants :)
