Ode to a Blankie  

Posted by: Denise

I finally got it.  A photo of you with your blankie.  When you were just a baby, I tried to get you to fall in love with a sweet, soft teddy bear.  No--Tyler is the boy who loves a blankie.  And not just any blankie; it's the one that Mommy made.  I wish that I could say that this blankie was made especially for you, but it really wasn't.  I started knitting this when I found out that my friend Heather was expecting her first little girl.  This knitting pattern was very time consuming!  I missed the baby deadline for Heather, put the unfinished project in a drawer, and finally pulled it out and finished it before Drew was born.  But, it's not his blankie.  It wasn't truly loved until you came along.  You're almost four now and all too soon this blankie with join the other special things in the box of time gone by.  I'm not ready and, for now at least, neither are you.  I'm just fine with that.
