Well-loved

 

This is Sullivan's Little Giraffe "pink blankie" that she received at birth. To the right is what it once looked like. She began to have a special affinity to it around the age of 18/20 months. As you can see, she has loved it to shreds, literally. My mom, Lee's mom and myself have sewn and repaired it many times, never to much avail. We have replaced it with two other Little Giraffe blankies, but she still clings to this original. She does allow me to wash it, thank goodness, as I find it crinkled into a ball deep under her pillow in her tiny little toddler bed.  Very sweet, sweet dreams...
