What is it About a Blankie?
She was six month old when I observed a funny behavior. Baby Girl was exhausted, ready to fall asleep… and yet her eyes, drowsy and half-open, looked for something. Her hands busily running along the edge of the blanket, searching, eager, and unsatisfied.
“What is she doing?” I thought. So, I waited to see what she was “looking” for.
Then, I saw it. Her little fingers reached a corner of the silky satin edge, and immediately her eyelids slowly closed over eyes that rolled back in relief. Her finger gently moved over the pointed softness for a minute, until little by little, all movement came to a gentle stop.
Baby Girl officially needed the corner of her blanket to fall asleep.
And today, a year-and-a-half later, nothing has changed. It’s the first thing we grab when her forehead has met the edge of a table or wall… and the last thing she holds onto before drifting to sleep.
