Lovey

Mallory & Carson have each had a special blanket from the very beginning. Mallory’s is a little bear that was a gift from my Aunt Pj & Uncle Nick. We have three bear blankies in the rotation (one for at school, one for at home, and one in case of emergency) and she still uses if for naps (at school) and bedtime (at home). I’ve written before about how she loves the tag on her bear blankie (see post “Tag This” from June 2008) and she still does it when she’s zoning out at bedtime.

Carson has a little puppy blankie, and he has his own idiosyncrasy with it. He doesn’t love the little tag, but he loves the little nubs at the corners of the blankie. He usually has them between his fingers on both hands while we’re reading his bedtime books or when he’s curled up in his crib. I just think it’s so sweet that no matter how he’s holding his blankie, he turns it around in his hands to find the puppy’s “hands”.
