I have a child that is hopelessly attached to a blanket. It wasn't something we planned or encouraged--it just happened. Frankly, it's one of the cutest things about our little Rosie--her love for her "blue blank".
- Aunt Ann made it especially for her. Thanks a million, Aunt Ann!
- She's held tightly to it every.single.night.of.her.life.
- At some point along the way, we stopped allowing her to take it places unless we were staying overnight.
- But...around the house, she's always got it close by her side.
- I smile every.single.morning. as she greets me dragging "it" behind her.
- Aunt Ann made a "mini-me" version of "blue blank" (same yarn) that pacifies her when we don't have the real deal.
- It's beginning to unravel. *sigh*
- She's lovingly called it "blue blank" for as long as I can remember.
As I write this post, I'm reminded of a special word AG used as a toddler. Remember wakiku? We still say it from time to time, but it is slowly fading away. Sadly, it's almost gone.
*AG is to wakiku as Edy is to blue blank* They're both precious and priceless.
The main reason I started this blog--stories such as these. Some things are just too special to forget.
Thanks for this sweet post. Pops and I read this together, and took a walk down memory lane. We are so thankful for your blog and for these sweet remembrances.
ReplyDeleteLove this , you look great to. May try to make a quick trip soon!
ReplyDeleteTwo of my four kids were blankie kids. My son is now a sophomore in high school and still has his blankie tucked away in a drawer somewhere. I am curious to see if he will pack it away somewhere to take with him to college when the time comes...
ReplyDeleteTracey,
DeleteThat is so sweet. I will treasure these "blankie" memories forever.
I've had 4 blankie babies and it's sooo cute! Zekey is 5 and still sleeps with his every night. They have all called them "blanks" too!
