Snug Bug

This morning Mama whipped out a blankie for Newbie on the sewing machine.  I used a slice of fabric that I had stashed away, and made sure there was enough leftover to make three more back-up blankies in the event of an emergency.  When it comes to blankies, you can never be too prepared.

I thought about going fancy and shopping on Etsy or making a mini-quilt for him to use, but I finally decided to keep it simple with a bit of cotton flannel sprinkled with puppies, his very favorite.

 The blankie I had as a little girl was just a piece of lightweight calico cotton fabric hemmed around the edge, and it was an essential snuggle buddy at bedtime.  It came with me on a billion adventures, and once I got a little older, it sat by the pillow on my bed and watched hours and hours of my sister and I playing Barbies and Littlest Pet Shop.

A blankie is kinda like a best friend, and I wanted Newbie to have one.

He has a bundle of blankies, but hasn't attached himself to any specific one, and in an effort to get him sleeping through the night again, I decided he needed a go-to blankie for bedtime.

So I hereby declare this THE BLANKIE.

It will follow him to naptime and to bedtime and on any adventures that requires the companionship of a snuggly blankie.

And we will all sleep happily ever after.

The end.
