We have video of DS and his little friend fighting over the tag on the alligator at the same age (yes ,the flashing, scrunchy one). We brought DS a taggie blanket and at 23 months he still takes it to bed every night and would be lost with out it. It has a particular red tag on it that he likes to loop around his finger and stroke. We have 2 exactly the same and he always goes for the red tag. So cute . It is probably the best thing I have ever brought him in terms of use and comfort (and possibly one of the cheapest ).
