My son is still attached to his soother (pacifier in Canadian). He’s 2, and though I’d always intended to get him off of it before now, it’s just never happened. First there was the weaning from nursing, then weaning off the bottle, then his little sister came, now he’s potty training…there just always seemed to be something to make it the wrong time. The dentist says his teeth are perfect, so I guess it’s near the bottom of my worry list. Anyway, 3 is my new deadline. Here’s hoping he’s like the kids I keep hearing about that give it up willingly around that age.

My now 12 yr.old daughter Has her “Blankie”,when she started school, she would cry for hours if she didn’t “sneak” it to school with her so I came up with a Locket type necklace that I put a small piece of “Blankie” in and she wore that for years to school.She still sleeps with “blankie” but no longer needs the necklace for school,so it hangs on her bedpost.Her “blankie” is blue and her older sister jokes that at her wedding it will be her “something old,and her something blue”……we’ll see.

My daughter Pixie has her “Lamby Lamb”! She loves it more than anything sometimes I think even me! My husband bought it for her in the hospital gift shop, when she sees it her face lights up and when Mommy has to wash it-which is at least once a week, her world ends for an hour. It is really sweet, she sits and talk to it hold its ear or tail close to her mouth and makes a sucking noise. It really is her best friend!

My 7 year old has a blanket he calls his “tickles” I have no idea where he got that name. After about 3 years he asked me to stop fixing the holes and that is when it started to get knotted. He stilluses it at bedtime and on long trips.

My now 13 yr old son had a “bankey”. It was the blanket that went in his crib that matched everything, when about 9 or 10 mos old & the ear infections began he always wanted it when I was rocking him so then it went in the crib with him too. He carried it until he was 5, and going to pre-school. By then my mother had sewn it so many times that it had trails of “stitches” through it. Piece by piece came apart and I kept every piece large enough to keep. His last piece (or so he thought), he gave up the summer before he started kindergarden, he gave it to my sister-in-law’s Chihuahua & was quite proud he gave up his blanket, although I could see some hesitation in his eyes. I cried I wanted to tell him there were more pieces at home but knew that would be a bad idea. Still now at 13 yrs old when he sees the pieces of blanket in his baby stuff he picks them up finds the “soft, cold spot” and puts it to his face and feels it with his fingers, it is soooo cute! And this from a kiddo that is taller than his mama, Mr. Athlete, and already shaves. lol

My daughter Johannah has a “pink one”. It is a fleece blanket that was made by her cousin before she was born. She is 5 1/2 and she doesn’t leave the house without it. She takes it in the car on the way to school in the morning (she leaves it in the car until she gets out of school) but otherwise it is with her. Dixie

Wow!! I have a piece of bunny fur that was purchased for me by my father when I was a baby. I still have it, sleep with it UNDER my pillow (now that I am married) and I am 37!! Our 5 year old has to have her 2 Baby Lulu Morning Glory blankets to sleep with EVERY night. She won’t sleep without them. She doesn’t do anything with them any other time…just bedtime. Our 9 month old, Harrison (who is one of our triplets) has to have his teddy bear lovie to sleep with, too. He absolutely will not sleep without “Teddy” next to his face. My husband swears that this a genetic thing from me!! It’s cute, but I hope that they either outgrow this phase or put it under the pillow once they are living with somone else!! LOL

My baby is 8 and has his rudouph blanket covering himself head to toe-the problem is he is getting longer than the blanket.
One day when they r all grown-ill be snuggling cat-orangey and blankie!!!!!!
