Robert has been ready for a long time to get rid of Madi's "blanket balloon" as she called it. I on the other hand....was pretty attached to it myself! I loved that she loved it so much, and I liked that to lay her down for a nap, all I had to do say was, go get your blanket....I liked that it calmed her down...and I just wasn't ready to get rid of it!! A couple weeks ago when I took her to school, there was a little girl crying and it really scared MJ. She started to cry and didn't want to stay....so I took her to the bathroom, and told her that she had to stay, and if she didn't I would have to put her blanket up. She said that was fine....so when we got home, I put it up, and put the other receiving blankets up. She asked for it a couple of times, and cried a little....but she did fine. Now she sleeps with this blanket...she calls it "soft blanket"....she doesn't carry it around the house or anything like that. This morning she brought it into the den 'cause she said she was cold....She doing lots better than I ever thought she would! She told me the other day that she missed blanket balloon, and she wished she could find it. I had a dream about it!! That she found it and the others that I put up.
