Blanket Dilemma

I was reading today's post from Gershwin Drive and the timing is uncanny. My post today is about Gilbert's magic blanket or rather our 'blanket dilemma'.

As part of cache that comes with baby showers, we picked up a 'snuggly' (Kristen's term). I must admit, the damn blanket is quite soft. Must be the organic cotton. Anyway, Gilbert took to it immediately as he sleeping blanket. In fact, you've seen many posts with him and the blanket.

Concerned about losing it, damaging it, wearing it out, etc. we bought a backup. That was a few months ago. Along the way, we've attempted to use other blankets, but to no avail.Gilbert will kick them away, throw them off, or simply repel from being near the foreign objects. Believing you can never have enough of a good thing, Kristen went to pick up a third, but the same pattern was out of stock. Instead she grabbed the same type of blanket, but in a different pattern.

We wondered if Gilbert would accept the new snuggly. As a test last night, I removed his blanket while he slept and inserted the new blanket. He immediately pushed and kicked it off. No way, you say! I say, yes indeed.

I conducted the test a few times all with the same result. The blanket felt the same. Hmmm...Maybe it was an olfactory issue. So, this morning I washed the new blanket with his other backup. I had to depart for work before it was done drying. Will test it out tonight.

If it doesn't work, we could have a dilemma. Stay tuned!
