Don't you just love a blankie! Will sure loves his. It is not what you think, though. It is not one special blanket that he uses. It is not fancy. It does not have his name embroidered on it or any of those fancy tags they sew on them. All he requires is a small flannel blanket. It can be yellow, green, blue or even have animal designs on it. The look on his face when you hand it to him is priceless! The biggest smile appears and you may even get a laugh. When he gets his blankie in his arms he will proceed to bite it for a minute and then wrap it around his neck if he is sleepy. So if you ever see me with a blankie thrown over my shoulder just know that it is there for good reason. It makes my little man smile with delight and feel at peace with the world around him.
Above are a few pictures I took the other afternoon. Will was a little fussy and was carrying his blanket around in his mouth while he played. So I had the great idea to tie it around his neck. He was so much calmer the rest of the afternoon while he wore it around the house.
