A Blankey is a babies Best Friend

When Dylan was born Mike wanted to buy a security blanket. For me I never had one so it didn't seem like a MUST but to Mike it was important. So we went to WalMart looked at all the blankets. Soft ones, bright ones, plain ones, big ones, little ones. We decided on a blue one with balls on it (basketball,baseball,soccer) It didn't take long for Dylan to LOVE the blanket and need it EVERY night! I thought Dylan's love for his blanket was cute and it calmed him down for bed however If we would travel, or see grandparents we would have to make sure we had it with us and most importantly didn't forget it. I don't allow blankeys to go to the grocery store, or in the car (unless traveling) which made him love and want his blankey more. 

After Mason was born I knew it was a Must have for him to have a blankey. 

We bought a few, and several were given to us. We continued to give him a few at different times so he could decide which blankey he wanted. That he did. The small,soft blue blankey he chose was given to Dylan from my mom. But Dylan already had his ball blankey he loved. But I held on to it. Mason decided that was going to be his blankey. 

 Mason never got attached to a binky but when giving him his blankey he sucks on his finger on his right hand while having his blankey in his left hand. Its a given that when he gets his blankey his finger goes in his mouth. Only when he has his blankey he sucks on his finger. Mason cant sleep without his blankey, and it soothes him the minute he lays down or if he isn't feeling good. So now I see the importance of a blankey. Dylan STILL has his blankey (only when he sleeps) and he will be 7.
