I have a thumb sucking blankie addict here too LOL. I started using this polar fleece cot blanket with Paige as it just the right weight to use when she slept during the day and she has become somewhat fixated with it. She will go to sleep sucking her thumb and holding the blanket to her nose with the other hand.

She isn't happy with someone elses blanket. She'll scream blue murder if she sees it on the washing line (stands under it, not able to reach it and hollers so the whole neighbourhood can hear her.
This is so like Paige - I had to time it when I washed it so she wasn't going to sleep or anything or she would get really upset. But she is at the age now where she can go to sleep without it if she has to and she doesn't cry when it is in the wash, but she will still stand at the line waiting for it to dry LOL.

I swear I am going to have to sew it into her wedding dress LMAO
