Anyone that has ever met Wyatt knows just how much his blue blanket means to him. If he had to choose between me and his blue blanket he would choose me, but only after some serious consideration! He has been sleeping with it since he was 10 months old! Occasionally when I forget to close the gate at the bottom of the stairs and Wyatt sneaks upstairs, I know that I can always find him in the same place. He will be sitting on the floor of his bedroom sucking on his blue blanket after having reached through the crib bars and pulled it through. Sucking on a blanket for hours every day means that the blue blanket can take on quite a foul smell after some time which is why I created a replica of the original blue blanket so that the original can be washed (in bleach) without interrupting any sleep routines. I can't remember when it started (I'm sure that it was John's idea), but Wyatt became attached to sleeping with a glow worm ("baby") as well. There are a few issues with the glow worm sleeping arrangement 1. Wyatt likes to run down the batteries on purpose so that we have to use a screwdriver (which he is obsessed with) and change the batteries at least once a week 2. The glow worm starts to smell like the blue blanket after a while and 3. We couldn't purchase a replica of baby because they changed the design and the new glow worms looked and sounded totally different. So, you can imagine how excited I was at the Mothers of Multiples garage sale to find 3 backup glow worms ($1 each) to use when we needed to wash one of the originals. Thus, it was with great frustration that I came home late at night last week to find that John had put Wyatt to bed with, not 1, but 4 glow worms!!!!! So much for outsmarting my kids! Does anyone know where I can buy 4 backup glow worms?
