Blankies For Life?

For any new mamas out there, I have two words for you… security blanket.
It may be a blanket, a bear or even a blanket that has a bear head stitched to the middle of it. Both of my kids have blankets and they LOVE them! They’ve been a life saver several times, especially when we travel, go to the doctor, and at bedtime.
I personally never had one. The closest I ever got to one was Linus’ blankie on Charlie Brown.
To be honest, I don’t know how I’ve survived life this long without having my own when I was a kid. I even wonder sometimes if I wouldn’t be so insecure today if I had one when I was younger.
One thing to beware of…your baby might grow so attached to it that they will sleep with it even into their adult years. I have a relative, who will remain anonymous, who is in her twenties and still sleeps with one. I think most of her close friends and family know this secret, but I don’t want to “out” her on the internet, so that’s all I’ll say.
My oldest child is 3 1/2 years old and he still asks for his to sleep with at night. He doesn’t lug it around with him during the day, but there’s no telling how long he will keep it.
Confession time, do YOU still have your blankie???
