Lately, if we are upstairs close to Cheyenne's nap time she will crawl into her room and get her blankie, telling me she's tired and ready for a nap. She loves this blanket. It is her best friend! She snuggles up with it on my lap and holds it while going to sleep. Usually she holds it in her mouth as well. I have 2 of them and wash them every other day because they tend to get nasty after she has them in her mouth so much. This is definetly her comfort item. I gave her this to sleep with when we got rid of her paci at around 5 months. She was waking for her paci all night long and I decided to let it go. Since getting rid of it and replacing it with this blanket, she sleeps 11.5-12 hours at night by herself. She goes to sleep easily for naps and bedtime with it. Sometimes when I've had all I can take I can put her in her crib early and she'll talk to her blanket until she gets tired enough to go to sleep. All the time spent getting her to sleep independently was so worth it! Anyway, I just thought it was cool that she went and got her blankie. Sometimes she'll even lay down in the floor with it and try to go to sleep. She's so awesome!

That's so great she has a lovie. I tried so hard to get Aidan attached to something but it never happened. Now he sleeps with trucks, puzzles and whatever else is his toy of the day!
