Ever since Evette has been little, she's slept with this yellow blankie that her Auntie Rachel crocheted for her. It is basically a requirement for her to have it in order to sleep. She still gets upset when I put it in the washing machine.
Within the last 7 or 8 months, she's been adamant that the yellow blanket is carefully draped across her pillow and she sleeps on top of it. We've been woken up in the middle of the night a couple times to her crying because her blanket shifted during her slumber and was no longer entirely covering her pillow. It's serious, friends.
Well, this afternoon, she fell asleep in the car on the way home from a scout thing with Daddy. Miriam was struggling to fall asleep in their room already, so we decided to put her in our bed to finish up her nap. On top of our bed right now, we have a blue crocheted blanket for extra warmth during these colder nights. Sean carried her in and placed her on our bed and I covered her with the blue blanket.
She woke up as we were putting her to bed, but we told her to go back to sleep and finish her nap. After we took out her pigtails, she laid back down. About 1 minute later she came out and asked for her yellow blanket. We declined and explained that we couldn't go get it from her room because Miriam was trying to fall asleep. She was a little upset, but went back into our room. About 30 seconds later she came out again, very upset, and through tears said, "But I don't want blue hair!!!"
That poor baby thought that her beautiful "yellow" hair (which she loves - the other day she told Miriam, "Miriam! You getting beautiful yellow hair like me!" so cute..) was going to turn blue because of the blanket!
Sweet baby. Her beautiful yellow hair because of her magic yellow blanket. I love it.
