"snuggle"

Madilyn is really attached to a blanket that we call "snuggle". She is in love with the thing and drags it everywhere. The thing gets SO filthy and stinky. It is so hard to get it away from her to wash it. It is usually a 2 person job between Paul and I to get it in the laundry room without her seeing it and then distracting her for an hour while we wash and dry it. This morning, I had to go it alone, since Paul is away for work. Well, I couldn't pull it off and she found out. So, I showed her how "snuggle" was "swimming" in the water. She thought that was cool and was okay with it. Then when it came time to put it in the dryer, she followed me in. I told her that "snuggle" was going for a ride to get dry. She was okay with it for a few minutes, but then she burst into tears. It had been too long since she could hold it. Luckily, I got her involved in coloring and she forgot again.
Soon, they were reunited and she was a happy girl again.

Paul, we both miss you in so many ways and are counting down the days until you come back to us.

That little girls has so many snugly blankets but only wants that one. But I have to admit, it is a very soft blanket.
