Blanket and Baa

Kenna started sleeping with her blanket when she was about 6 months old or so (I think). Baa, her stuffed sheep, joined the party when the pacifier disappeared....which was around 15-16 months and ever since then the three of "them" have been inseparable when it comes to bed time. Blanket and Baa must go everywhere with us if we expect her to take a nap or spend the night. Daniel has even driven back out to his parents house when blanket was accidentally left in his car when he dropped Miss K off for a weekend with the grandparents. This is serious.

Recently, Blanket and Baa have started getting special treatment when it is not bedtime. Since they have to stay in her bed during the day, Kenna has started making sure that they are very comfortable and all settled before she can go play.

The last few nights, when going in to check on Kenna before we go to bed, we have found that Blanket has a new place to 'hang out' during the nighttime hours.

Night #1 (Sunday night) Night #2 (Monday night)Night #3 (Tuesday night) - even though Blanket was already in his special spot, Kenna wasn't quite asleep when I went in to take her picture and insisted on smiling for the camera while she pretended like she was sleeping. She actually requested 4 different takes before she was ready to go to sleep.
I wonder how old Miss K will be when she decides that she is too big to sleep with a blanket and a stuffed animal....
