I felt like such a mean mom, especially because Grant refused to leave the washer's side until his beloved blankets were back in his arms. I left him there while I cleaned the kitchen and he ran to me and grabbed my hand to get my attention. He was letting me know that the dryer had stopped and he was not waiting one minute longer! In a blur, he had his monkey and puppy out and the blankets were next!
He then proceeded to arrange himself with his blankets and laid on the floor finally happy for the next ten minutes straight. I on the other hand laughed about it for the next four hours. I am glad that this is the biggest stress in his mind right now.
All is well in the world again. :)

Do you have a hot swap blanket and animal that you can pacify him with while his main one is getting washed?
Unfortunately, that is why he has 2 blankets and 2 animals! They were designed to be a back up set, but about 8 months ago, he attached himself to all four and now they are a package deal. Sadly, we try to find new blankets that are similar to the old ones and he will not attach to them. He just pushes them aside!
Oh that's such a cute story! I love the pictures. My boys do the same thing with their special little animals. It's pretty cute :)
That is so sweet! I love the picture with him and his blankets in a big pile on the floor!!
It's so fun to see all your posts! The basement looks great - wow - LOTS of hard work! And I totally understand about the blankets....at least you wash them though. My mom finally just gave up and would let me go WAY too long without washing. Gross huh? :P
HAHAH that is the cutest saddest thing I've seen all day! We sure miss you guys and love to keep in touch via blogs!---Kim
Too funny! Both of my kids are blankie kids, too. I still remember YOUR blankie! ;) An off white satin with burgundy ties, right?
That picture was so cute, I had to come look a second time.
Aww, that is so cute!!
Ahhh that is so cute! I love that picture of Grant on the floor with all his blankets! It made me smile!
Oh my gosh- so funny- and those tears... poor kiddo. I can't believe that he stayed by the washer, wow! I have a super hard time sneaking Grace's blanket to wash too, but not like this. So funny!
He and Turin sound like two peas in a pod. I can't get turin out of his crib unless he's holding at least THREE blankets. WHen I asked him if he had sweet dreams, he always says, "Yeah." Then I ask him what he dreamed about and he always says, "My bankeys." I wonder if little boys get attached to a "lovey" more than little girls? B/c Siena was never like that. But I have known lots of little boys who can't live without their blankies. Oh, and BTW--we were worried about the heart b/c Jared's dad has a heart defect and I know that you know my nephew Tyler does--so since we have them on BOTH sides of the family that puts us at a lot higher risk!
How adorable! I can imagine the stress :)
