We have a blankie boy.
For quite a while (10 months to 15 months), Barrett just needed a blanket to sleep with. Any blanket would do, as long as it was soft and he could wad it up and lay on it. A few months back, it became apparent that he was leaning towards a specific blanket. It is fleece but very thin. Unfortunately, it's almost mostly white which makes keeping it clean-ish looking almost impossible.
When he first started showing an extra attachment to this blanket, he was able to have it just about anytime he wanted. I wasn't really thinking about how we needed to restrict his use. Recently, now that he's very connected, we are trying to limit the blankie. He gets it for a little bit after waking up and then it stays in his bed. I started bringing it with on car rides but the small tantrums he throws when we can't bring it into school needed to end so now it doesn't come with us. The exception is trips to Pontiac.
We need to order a second one because I think it will be sticking around for a while……along with his 2 fingers but that's a whole other addiction.
