The Blankie

2 years, 2 months old

See that blanket?  That piece of fabric has been a source of contention, lately.  

Barrett is 2 so it probably goes without saying that he is opinionated.  He wants what he wants when he wants it.  It's probably even worse when he doesn't want something....like me to sing along to music in the car. ::MOMMY! STOP!::

Most mornings he clutches on to that blanket for all it's worth.  It doesn't leave the house for school and he knows that but it doesn't always mean he's okay with it.  I usually sneak it away while he's brushing his teeth or something so that he forgets about it.

This morning, however, his dad told him it was time to go bye bye and he took his blankie and said "here daddy" while willingly giving it up. 

It's quite sad but I've never been prouder!  (Of course, it will also never happen again so document we must.)
