I never really had something that I carried around all the time when I was little, but I have always thought it was so cute when a little baby/child had a favorite blanky or animal they had to have all of the time. Scott had a blanky that he loved and carried around as a child, so Clayton is following in his footsteps. For a long time he didn't, but around 11 months or so, he would carry around a burp cloth or blanket, but there wasn't really any particular one that he loved. Gradually he started becoming very attached to this thin green blanket with monkey's all over it. When we would go to pick him up out of his crib, he would have both hands raised to pick him up, but he had to have that monkey blanky in one hand. Sometimes he won't even let go of it to eat, he has to have it with him in his highchair. It is so sweet to watch him with that blanky...he likes to rub it in between his fingers when he is sleepy, or he will take the corner of it and rub it on his nose, and it is with him wherever he goes. Actually it is really difficult to find the time to wash it! I have to wait until he is really busy playing and sneak it into the washer before the next nap. These are memories that I will treasure always, the small things that you want to always remember.
