For the last 10 days or so, we've been without a "bonkie" aka blankie for Caroline. It's been so heartbreaking to tuck her in bed each night and remind her that we haven't found it yet. So so sad. At one point she even said, "Mommy, I don't want to use Baby Kate's and pwetend it's mine. I want MY bonkie." Sad. Pathetic. Heart-wrenching. We've called to see if we'd left it anywhere. We've turned the house upside down searching for it. I even told a friend the other day that I was thinking about just replacing it even though it wouldn't be the same. And ironically, about 2 weeks ago I'd taken these pictures of her with it in anticipation of a "love" layout. But since then, I haven't had the heart to scrap them.
Well today, yes today, WE FOUND IT!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOOO! I had no clue how much that tattered smelly old blanket meant to her...and me. We did the happy dance when we found it! :D And to top it all off, we found 2 missing library books too! Oh yeah! It's a good day here! :D :D :D Baby girl is ecstatic, and Mommy's happy too! :D

oh good! That is the worst--losing something like that! The big question--where was it??
I'm so paranoid that we will lose someone's "blankie" (they all have a different name for it). I finally got smart with #5 and when he 'adopted' something I bought a few more to rotate in the wash. Glad you found it!!
So glad you found it! Both the twins are attached to their blankies and binkies. It's sad they can't find them but they still have to go to bed without them. Even though they are 3 I am having a hard time taking it away from them. It's their comfort, what makes them feel safe.
Yeah, so where was it?
Drew has "Buddy" which is a small silky blanket attached to a giraffe head. Over the years we've had to buy a substitute whenever we've gone somewhere and realized we left Buddy at home!
