Blanket Love

I'm sure you all know that Jacqueline is the only Bear girl with an official Lovey. Her blanket was a gift from Judy when she was born and now she has three of them (backup plan A and B). Ironically, she has moved from using her blanket as something to help comfort her at bedtime to a part of her day-to-day play.

It is not uncommon for her to need to wrap in her blanket after a bath and/or while getting ready for the day. Essentially a blanket-streaker.
She insisted I take a photo of her vs. getting dressed for school. Cuddling with her blanket and mom or dad is a cause for smile.

Of course a blanket is also a great cape, a shawl, a picnic ground cover a toga, something to wrap a gift in, something to wrap in paper as a gift to others, and so on and so on...

In addition when you are sick (with yet another ear infection) a blanket helps make you feel better while you sleep on the couch. Or as this case might be, when you fall asleep at the counter eating dinner and your mom puts you on the couch.

So, thanks again Judy for our favorite Lovey. While it is getting more worn it is even more regularly loved. I'm guessing this blanket might even be going to college someday so stay tuned.

PS interesting that while this blanket is light pink Jacqueline calls it "white" sometimes... not sure what that's all about.
