Avery has always had a blankie. This has been a staple in her night time routine. We used to make sure she had her blankie and sucky, then it was blankie and a friend, then blankie and glow bear, etc. The one constant has always been blankie. I'm embarrassed to say that she also uses blankie as her "booger blanket". She doesn't like to wipe her nose with paper, so she uses her tried and true blankie. I'm surprised with all the washes that blankie has went through, that it's still kicking. This is one of those possessions that I will keep forever, even when blankie isn't needed anymore. Hopefully she'll be able to share it with her children someday...if it still has any life in it...
