We had to wake up Kaylee to get ready to go to a wedding on Saturday, and Jamie found her all cuddled with her favorite blankies, Froggie and Mimi. Froggie seems to be the toted-around favorite, but she went back and forth between Mimi and Froggie for a while before Froggie completely took over that role. Kaylee gives her a bad rap, but she is often cuddled with Mimi when we catch her still sleeping.
In case you're wondering about all her other blankets, she has quite a few and "needs" them all in bed with her (but just in a pile next to her pillow)...she has the aforementioned Froggie and Mimi, then there's Kitty, Hippo, bear blankie (aka Beary - Barry?), flower blankie, pink blankie, bee blankie, stripey blankie, special blankie and a little stuffed crab and yellow bear, too. So for those of you keeping track at home, that's 10 blankets and 2 stuffed animals she has to have to sleep. Luckily she only needs this at home and when she sleeps elsewhere she can make do with just one or two. My guess is once she moves to a full size bed (she's still in her crib converted to a daybed), she'll have to have the quilt that she uses as covers included in her blanket pile.
Andy is on his way to rivaling her...in his crib (soon to be removed once he starts rolling/scooting more!) he's got Mr. Monkey, Cuddle Monkey, Lambie, an elephant blankiet and Softie (aka Fake Softie, since it's called Softie because it looks like the favorite blanket ("Softie") of a friend of Kaylee's). Oh, and a stuffed dragon. So only 5 blankies and 1 stuffed animal thus far. Halfway there. We're apparently suckers for cute little blankies!
Kaylee and Caroline are very similar it seems. I always say Caroline's bed looks like a jungle of stuffed animals and blankets. I am afraid to move her to a bigger bed because she will just add to the chaos. Love the picture of Kaylee - sweet!
ReplyDeleteWhatever works as long as they go the heck to sleep :-) !
ReplyDeleteI tried to get Elena to attach to a lovey but she never did. She still doesn't have a favorite stuffed animal/blanket/doll.
Kaylee looks very sweet.
