If I could only hold onto one possession from my childhood, it would by blankie! I took that with me everywhere and would always be cuddled up with it at night. I used to chew on the corners of it so mom kept cutting them off. When I got older, I found that they had tried to sneak it into the garbage. I had to rescue it from the burning barrel before they lit it. When I went to Bible School I left it at home (in a safe place) cause I mean, I was grown up...... or trying to be. My old blankie soon got replaced with Carathy's kitty blanket. It had fallen out of the vehicle when they dropped me off back at school after Christmas. Carathy had told me I could keep it so I wouldn't get to lonely. To this day, I have to have that blanket right beside me when I go to sleep. I can leave it at home when we go somewhere but I know it will be there waiting for me when I come home!! What happened to my old blankie? I still have that very worn, misshaped blankie and I can't see myself giving it up anytime soon! Even though it is retired, I still keep a close watch on it!
With that in mind, I can't help but wonder if Natalie is going to have that same connection. Ok so this is only a burping cloth but I put her beside me on the couch and this is the position she moved to! I think its absolutely adorable.
