Blankie Love

Maxwell loves his Blankie!  Oh how he loves his blankie!  I have to snatch it whenever I can when he's not looking so I can wash it.  Then I sit back and pray that he doesn't realize it's gone.  One particular day I grabbed it to throw in the wash and he totally caught me!  Thankfully our washer locks once the load is washing so there was no way that thing was coming out so Mom had to come up with a plan.  In theory this idea sounded good so I tried this out..."oh Max, come here and watch blankie get all cleaned up!"....

So I set up his little camping chair in front of the washer so he could see his little blankie go round and round and get all clean. Great idea, right?

WRONG!

It quickly turned into this....

And ended up with this...
For the entire wash cycle (34 minutes) and dry cycle (40 minutes).  He just kept screaming, "Blankie!  Blankie!" the whole time and nothing I said or did made it right until that blankie came out clean and dry.  I think he checks the laundry baskets every time I wash now so I think I'll have to wash blankie after he goes to bed.

Ha, ha. Farrah used to be that way too. I think she likes how warm it is when it comes out now. I guess she decided it was worth the separation for an hour or so.

That's just like our house. Forrest loves his blanket so much he can't stand to see it go in the wash. But, I have found that if I tell him it's stinky, and let him smell it, he does ok with it.
