I just thought I'd do a post about the blue rubby blanket that River has become so attached to. Its fascinating that he throws out a soother at 6 months never to touch one again but this blue blanket has become an extension of him. Comfort apart from our arms. I can't keep this thing clean. It picks up lint and dirt, he has it in his mouth every morning, carries it around with him, hauls it up and down the stairs, picks it out of piles of laundry, holds it up to show us it proudly, and loses his mind when I've attempted to give him a different one before bed if his isn't around. I've tried to change to one that looks a little more attractive for times we go in public because this one is becoming matted and gross, but he certainly doesn't care, so why should I? So how long will this last? Will this blankie get named and be around for years and years? I don't know. But seeing things through a child's eyes is so fun and I'm just going with it. My theory, if it doesn't hurt anything, then let it be. River..... enjoy your blue blanket.

so cute when they have that one thing they love! Definitely not worth a fight on that one!
we just got rid of the soother so now it's a massive easter duck that gets chewed on and hauled around. Equally as gross and equally as cute!!
yah let him have it...he looks to cute with it :) and plus if he's smart enough to go and find it in a pile of laundry its definitely worth having.
ok, he just keeps getting cuter & cuter! is that possible?! :) love that you're letting him keep the blanket!
