| My son got a "Beanie Buddies" dog when he was a year old and he is now four. He used to carry it around everywhere, but now we have "phased" it out so "Mr. Puppy" doesn't leave the house, and mostly he only uses it when he goes to sleep at night, or if he is having a bad day. I was always scared of losing it! That poor dog has been so loved that it is now totally flat except the head, all the stuffing is worn away on the inside. Most people think it is a bear. It has been left behind and retrieved from a rummage sale, thrown out the truck window at a stop and go light (of course, busiest intersection in town,right before the bridge) PUKED on, left behind and lost at various grandparents' houses, but it always comes back to us...I always let grandma do the washing, because if the thing falls apart in the washing machine, it is not going to be my fault!I think it's good for a kid to have a lovey like that, kids are little and it's a big world, the comfort it gives them is worth the hassle. My little brother had a "blankie" and when we went on vacation we left it behind in a motel room in South Dakota. That was about 12 years ago, and the kid still talks about that! (He was only 2 or 3 at the time.) I also remember hearing a story of one mom who kindof "trimmed" away her kid's blanket when he got too big for it, until it got smaller and smaller...until he didn't want it anymore. (But he was four or five already.) ↑ |
| my little girl had one she was 12 months when she got one and now is 6 what i did was cut it in 4 pices and finelly she lost all of them when she cryed for it i told her a faire took it to some kid that need it and it work ↑ |
| My daughter is nearly 2 and she has her blanket and the only thing bad with it is that its fleece and I have a dog that sheds bad lol so I w\have to wash it so much but I would not take it from her because I see nothing wrong with it. Some adults have comfort items why cant a child? As long as its not hurting anyone its fine I wouldnt worry just let him have it till he grows out of it ↑ |
| MY COMFORT BLANKET IS CHRIST OUR LORD! ↑ |
my daughter had a realy soft bear that was bigger than her at 1 year she is still atached to that bear he used to have to go everywhere with use she is now 4 and all she does is sleep with bear. my son has his comforter and he carries it everywhere i think comfort objects are great i don't think any parent should ever take a kids comfort object from them they will outgrow them
for example my mother in law told me that i need to do what she did she told her son my hubby that if he wanted toys from hoho he has to leave his blankie for hoho and thats haw she got al t lose his blankie and said i should do that with my daughter i told her i will not ever take bear from her well this past x-mas my daughter was up until 4 in the morning crying because she did not want to give bear to santa. this completely broke my heart and i was mad all of x-mas for what my in-laws told her after i told them no any way
i think every child needs a comfort object and it is realy cute to my son looks like the kid off of charlie brown lol it is so cute ↑ |
| *LOL* I put my son's blankie in the tumble dryer yesterday and he had a meltdown because he could see it going around and around and couldn't get to it! He fetched my husband to get it out for him, but it was still damp. We all had to sit and watch it until it had dried enough to give it back to him. ↑ |
| i dont think there is anything wrong with a blankie, all my kids have or had one at one point. the way i see if it make them feel safe and secure when their hurt or sad so be it . they will either grow out of it or only do it in bed and how many people will no that they have it. ↑ |
