"Bumblebee"

We have searched high and low but we cannot find Skylars beloved "Bumblebee" blanket. Many tears have been shed and she has had to face the world without the tattered, torn, yellow and pink bumblebee blanket. But she has found a replacement, a way to move on.... She has replaced the one small blanket with 10 new blankets. She has named each one and must have them with her at all times. Unlike "bumblebee" which I allowed to join us on our many adventures; to the store, the schools, McDonald's, church, etc. I have had to draw the line 10 blankets are just to many to haul around! Every night she has roll call, "Numbers, are you here?" "Animals, are you here?" "Pinky, Nanas blanket, Boy, Holes, Flower, Girly, Big Purple, and Baby Purple, are you here?" Once all are surrounding her she can finally drift off to a peaceful slumber. Each morning she hauls them out to breakfast, and drags them around the house will her all day! So although she may be over "Bumblebee" I am still looking, I use to silently complain that I had to drag that silly blanket with us everywhere, but now I would gladly take it back!

Can you believe they can breath with all those blankets wrapped around their heads? She looks like Maggie in her bed. Good Luck! See ya Tues:)
