Boo has decided she doesn't want to sleep with her blankie any more. This a is a good thing. "Good thing" in the sense of 1066 and all that! or Martha Stewart. Italicized, capitalized, quotated, in bold.
Her blankie, now more than five years old, is showing the wear and tear that a normal blanket might after ten times as long. Shreds here, dangly bits there, almost falling apart: if we wash it another few times it will cease to be.
And that she has decided it is time to give it up is a great, huge step:-) We are looking at ways to encase it in plastic so she can have it forever.
Even better, though, is what she told us about why she has decided to give up her blankie! She has decided that holding her blankie at night is what makes her need to suck her thumb --- and she doesn't want to suck her thumb at night any more! She proudly proclaimed this morning that since she didn't have her blankie last night, she hadn't sucked her thumb. And that's how she wants it to be:-)
Yours, relieved,
N.
