Blankie

After Ada was born, my friend Vanessa gave her an ADORABLE pink blanket that she crocheted herself. It didn't take long for it to become Ada's favorite blanket, and now she's obsessed with it! She can't sleep without it, and when she's awake she pulls it out of her crib and carries it around the apartment. If she happens to let it go and leave it lying around, she soon starts saying "blanket!" and walks around until she finds it. Yesterday she would not let it go when it was breakfast time, so I had to leave it on her lap under the tray while I fed her. When it was time for a bath, she refused to let go and I had to force it out of her hands. She was NOT happy. Then today I was doing laundry and she saw me put it into the washing machine. She kept reaching for it and saying "blanket!" and got mad that she couldn't have it. I'm going to have to start being more sneaky when I have to separate her from it. But I think it's adorable that she loves it so much, especially since I carried around a crocheted blankie when I was young. Right now our camera has a picture in it of Ada with the blanket over her head, but the battery just died. Until we get another, this old picture will have to do.
