I was never a thumb sucker, but my hubby was, and one of my kiddos was. Two of my kids loved the binkie too. Your satin edged blanket sounds cozy.

You can always safely cuddle a pillow even at age 30 or 40 and no one will blink an eye. :-) I'm glad you like the book! <b>Jen</b>, that's tragic about your friend. I'm sure that your bear will always be a special item and I'm glad it didn't get lost over the years. <b>Tipper</b>, I love your story!! Your middle school girls sound precious, and I agree, enjoy the blankies until they're worn to threads. I can't believe you sewed the old blanket to the new one - this is some serious blankie stuff!

Their first blankies were those woven kind-and when they started teething they pulled the threads out into long loops-we were afraid they would choke themselves or each other. Then we went to normal blankets one made by Granny one made by a dear lady who is no longer with us. Granny's hasn't held up as well as the other ladies-but she had another just like it that she kept begging my daughter to just "replace" it with. None of that was going to happen-so we finally convinced my daughter to let Granny sew the new one to the old one. This was just last year! So yes I have two middle school girls who will not sleep or even watch t.v. without their blankies! I know some folks who think you should take things like that away-but not me. I say enjoy them till your married someday-and then just take them with you! I don’t remember having anything my self-but my girls both have blankies and they are in middle school!

When I was 13, a good friend died in a car accident. The day before his funeral I got a stuffed teddy bear and slept with that for years. I still have it in rubbermaid box in my closet.

It went everywhere including my honeymoon! When it got so threadbared my mom put it in a shadow box. I cried because I couldn't touch it anymore. My DH went out and bought me another bear, Patches. I just knew our son would want a teddy bear but he ended up with a plastic alligator called Alex. I have a teddy bear who has been with me for 45 years. It went everywhere including my honeymoon!
