who could guess...

Of course every child's first friend is his or her blanket. My children are examples of this rule. These are their blankets' names:
  • Aubrie - bawkee
  • Keeley - bypee
  • Henry - bay baw
  • Jesse - bawkee
  • Andee - she can't tell me yet

The blankets in our home are dragged everywhere, and used for everything including but not limited to: wrapping up in on the kitchen floor in the morning while mom makes breakfast and lunches for those who don't eat at home, chewing on for a sleep aid, sliding on the floor, whipping mean older sisters with, crying into, covering up for a nap, dropping on the floor to trip over, and wiping noses on.

It seems they are never clean for longer that it takes to be held after they are removed from the dryer.

Our kids can love them, hold them and use them for all of these things and more, but only until their fifth birthday. After that they have been placed into a closet by mom and will be taken out and given as a wedding gift, or something equally as embarrassing. Henry has his fifth birthday coming up in February. I'm not sure what he'll do for something to chew on when he's going to sleep, happy, sad, mad etc. Hmmm. Only time will tell.

Let's hear it for the blankees- that's what mine was called!
