Blankies....

[flowerchild]

I only have one with a blankie right now. When she arrives, I leave it in the bag until nap time, but after nap there is no prying it out of her hands so I wait until she's having snack and then swoop the soother, blankie and stuffy into her bag. Out of sight, out of mind.

I have another little one who leaves a blanket and soother here. That works perfect for me. They stay in the play pen and there is virtually no stress whatsoever. I wash the blanket when I wash the bedding.

When my son went to daycare, I had a second lovey that just stayed in his bag. I took it out to wash it and then it went right back. I didn't want the hassle of having to run back if we forgot it etc, but he needed it to sleep.
