Jeremy's "Baby"

It all started with satin. All of the sudden, this last winter, Jeremy wouldn't use a blanket that didn't have satin on it. He would rather go without, even at night. So I had to make sure to always have at least one of the two we had clean at all times. One day we were at Grandma, and he found this blanket. Now it's the only one he will use. He calls it "baby." I have tried twice to leave it at my mom's house. We did so successfully, but he always found it when we went back. And now leaving it, is just not an option. He can't sleep without it. It's, well, a security blanket. He reminds me of Linus (from Snoopy) carrying it around all the time.

He loves to rub it on his face!
Especially on his lips!

One day we were at Target, walking through the baby section. They had all these nice blankets. He looks over and exclaims, "BABY!" He wanted me to hand him one. I handed him the blue one. He told me no and kept pointing. I handed him the green one. He told me no and kept pointing and said, "pink!"

Then a few days ago I was at Joann's fabric. He had interest in absolutely nothing there, that is, until we walked by the pink satin. Then he says, "oooooooh!" And reached for it. I handed it to him, and then he started rubbing his face on it. I have tried to interest him in other colors of satin, all attempts have been completely unsuccessful! What can I say, he loves pink satin!

Ah yes, the baby. Good you've got this documented so when he's a teenager and doesn't believe you, you can pull out the evidence.

Its hilarious that he only wants one that's pink! Jeremy's not alone, though, a lot of little boys like the color pink!
