Do your kids have idiosyncrasies?
Do they make you pee your pants laughing?
Here's our new one:
A few weeks ago, Elias started getting VERY PARTICULAR about his blanket placement. He liked his ONE blanket spread just underneath his chin & just beneath his toes - tucked in.
Not too weird, right? (blanket count: 1)
A week or so later, he stole Glory's matching blanket and decided he needed one for the top half of his body & one for the bottom, completely tucked in.
Well - high maintenance, but no big. (blanket count: 2)
Yet another week later, I had one of Benj's blankets slung over my shoulder for spit-up protection as I put him to bed and he threw a massive fit - demanding it be added to his top half blanket cover-up. I agreed to his demand because I was tired & I didn't think it would end up in his line-up. (blanket count: 3)
Imagine my frustration with myself when I made the same mistake with another of Benj's blankets a few nights later.
And now, we're up to four blankets.
They must all be securely tucked around him & his lovey and puppup must be shoved up in his ears. If one becomes loose in the night, we are awoken with an ear-piercing "BLLLLLAAANKKKKEEET! COOOOVVVVVEEERRRRSSS!"
The truth is, I don't think he's all the sensitive or in need of blanket security,
I think he just likes to be fussed over:).

Love the picture.....and that kid.
now that picture is a keeper for sure, that's one you will be pulling out on prom night showing his date and years later showing his kids. Love that crazy kiddo!
first of all, how did that baby get so LONG???!!!
second, I really couldn't love him more.
third, weird is SUCH a good thing! Precious E!
a quadruple swaddle! what a cutie.
what an odd coinsidence... wes has a blanket fetish too. it's a little different but weird nonetheless. he wants blankets blankets and more blankets all the time. he finds all that he can in the house and piles them up. i try and stop it but he pitches a fit. its so weird. glad hes not the one lil boy out there in love with blankets... and hes never been attached to a blanket before in his life!
ps - his smile is exactly like his dads in that pics :)
I think Elias and my boys could be best friends. I thought it was just my kids that were super hyper about the funniest things. But blankets is just the tip of the iceberg at my house. Elias is a major cutie in his swaddle.
awesome, e. i used to ask for assistance AND permission to uncover after i was all tucked in. as if the blanket was just too heavy for me to lift on my own. e is so cute :)
