both of my boys LOVE their blankets.
It started with Charlie when he was about 8 months old. He had a blanket with one silky side, and one soft side that my sister had gotten him. We somehow figured out that he slept better and traveled in the car better with it. He would rub the silky side on his cheeks and actually chew or suck on the blanket. Sounds gross but it was what he did!
I went out and bought three of four more similar blankets so I could wash them regularly. He didn't have a preference for color or pattern, as long as there was silky on one side and soft (or warm as he calls it now on the other.
Somehow Aaron fell into the same pattern, although he is so much more attached to his blankets than Charlie was. He would carry it around all the time if we let him. Charlie always knew that he only got his blanket for nap and bedtime. Aaron, wants it all the time. And he cries and whines for it, or will go in the drawer where I keep them and pull out 2 or 3 to have. It's kind of a pain, but also cute that they have something to make them feel safe and secure. Charlie's favorite is still the first one he ever got (a white one) and the one in these pictures (the same as the white but a green color that he had second). Aaron has three favorites, the one in the picture, and white version of the same one, and another brown one. Too funny. Now that Aaron carries his around so much more (it helps us keep him from screaming sometimes!), Charlie wants his more. So I have two little
Linuses running around my house!
