the blankie saga continues. abie had a fever yesterday so i (against my better judgment) let him have his blankie on our evening walk. low and behold, we come home, eat, play, get ready for our bath, and as i'm looking around their room i realize that his blankie is MIA. j goes to the stroller. nada. so as the tub is filling up, he high tails it in the car and retraces our route. thank god he found blankie! but of course abie went to bed with a filthy blanket. we got all the leaves and obvious pieces of dirt off it, but it had been laying in the street for a few hours. so abel snuggled up to some street last night. ugh!
then tonight, the drama continued. yet again, oz ran into the bathroom with the tub filling up and chucked his blanket in. i actually screamed "NO!" as it happened. it actually felt like the slow motion, drawn out kind you see in movies. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" needless to say, oz went to sleep with another wet blanket.
and if anyone is curious, i can tell you from personal experience from the past 5 minutes, that if a 15 month old child stirs in the middle of the night and his blankie is not there, because it is still in the dryer, he DOES notice and he is NOT happy.
wet blanket + dirty blanket + wet blanket = should have paid $10 for overnight shipping when ordering back up blankets last night

wow. we need to get you some blankie karma. those back ups better come in soon. after i read your post i thought that i should wash their blankets because it has been awhile. i started laundry way early in the day, threw the load in before our walk, went our merry way. then bedtime and ooops dryer was on fluff. clothes still wet. they went down without but they are not that attached (yet). i should not tempt fate like that.
You know, I feel like this is one of those stories that, if you didn't have little kids, you just wouldn't understand. Before I had kids, I'd think something snarky like, "oh, come on, just give him another blanket and he'll be fine."
Now, though... now I know. You do not mess with a little one's sleep habits!! I made a blanket for a friend's son, and he ALWAYS slept with it. The trouble was that they did laundry while he slept, so the blanket never got washed. Long story short, I made a duplicate. :-)
Hi, I have been reading your blog for awhile and just have to pipe in on this one. Mine twins are 18 months and ADDICTED to their stuffed animals. First it was only upstairs, not it is up and down. I absolutely forbid them outside. They get dirty enough in the house!! I can attest to the 4am middle of the night scream fest that the dirty doggie was exchanged for the clean doggie. Good luck! I'm hoping the attachment will end soon, but not holding my breath.
