my bro's son was like this - he didn't care what toy he had at sleep time, as long as it had a tag for him to play with! he'd rub it against his ears til he went to sleep...

Maz gave E an awesome little taggy blanket - it's a small circle with tags of ribbon all around it. we got given a similar thing from a friend last week but it's a full size blanket with knotted polar fleece "tags" around the whole outside of it. be my luck i'll have a kidlet that fixates on a particular teddy we can't replace rather than tags now that we're prepared...
