This is the best pic i could find out our precious blanky!So, as some of you know, Hayden is pretty attached to his blanky. I am trying to just use it at sleep time and car time, but it usually gets dragged around other places also. Which is why this happened!
Yesterday I went for a run pushing hayden and we brought our blanky, along with another blanket to actually keep warm, cheerios, cup, toys, etc. all to keep him content so i can get a run in. So we get back and have a busy morning trying to get ready for our first playdate at our house. So were showering, vaccuming, picking up, etc. Our friends come, we have a great time, kids get tired, moms get good socializing. good time. So our friends leave and its time for naptime. I am looking for his blanky everywhere and realize i haven't seen it since our run.I check the whole house, drawers, hiding places, can't find it. So off we trapse into the car to drive my run from the morning. The problem is Hayden is almost asleep in the car and i cant see the sidewalk becuase of parked cars. So we race home and I decide to walk it later. WELL, then it decides to downpour right when i want to walk it. But my LOVING husband says he take his bike and look for it in the rain. I have big hopes, surely he'll find it!
After Thad being gone a long time,......no blanky! I couldn't believe it. At least hayden hadn't noticed. I think i was more upset than he was. ( since he hadn't noticed). I just know how much he loves to cuddle with it and put his fingers through the loops, he loves that thing. And i was so sad it was gone! I could not believe it. really
So this morning i trapse off to retrace my steps again. I do the whole route and no blanket. I can't believe it. Then i realize maybe i didn't go up 24th but 20th, so i go back to check the only 2 blocks i haven't looked at , and sure enough, on the first block i look,ITS THERE! perfectly laid outand soaking wet. Some nice person hung it up for us! I was so Happy!
So for moms out there. At the beginning i didn't want Hayden to have something that he was attached to because i didn't want to lug it around, and then I decided i did want him to have something for times when i wasnt' there, like nursery etc. SO, I am so glad that we do have our blanky and that he is attached to it, because he loves it so much and that is all worth it. Now if it was gone.......that might be another story! hopefully we could have found a replacement!

tristan never had a particular item that he was super attached to, but i've heard that it can be really helpful in easing transitions like moving, sleeping over at grandma's etc. so i'm thinking of getting something for samuel to love on. i've read over and over to buy at least 2 of that object though, and to rotate them so they smell and look the same!
p.s. you look insanely skinny in that picture and i'm super jealous rightn now ;)
im so glad you found it! we just went through this whole thing...only ours is gone for good. micah is attached to 2 things-Ernie (his elephant) and his blanket that he calls "baby". well, we accidentally left "baby" in a taxi a few weeks ago. i got out of the car and immediately noticed we didnt have it, but the taxi was already gone. it was time for micah's bed, so he immediately noticed and kept saying "baby, baby". thankfully, he has Ernie (which is his favorite), but he still asks for "baby" sometimes. and yes, i agree...having two of the same item is best, but you honestly dont really know which item they will get attached to until later. we actually have another blanket just like "baby" but it is green instead of blue...and micah knows the difference for sure and hasnt excepted it yet. anyways, im so glad you found it! what a traumatic story :) miss you
