Life with the Three Stooges

Saying Goodbye!

This blanket was made by my children’s Auntie Pua in Hawaii. She made it for Gavin right after he was born. Since Haven was old enough to hold something in her hand, she has been attached to it like it was a part of her body. We took it EVERYWHERE we went!  Stores, restaurants, friends and families homes.......you name it, the blanket was there. Her attachment has lessened in the last several months. We can now leave the house without it, although she cannot sleep or nap or eat without it! She finally told me the other night that she was ready for a new one! WOW! I believe this is because it is too short and barely covers her toes while she sleeps...and the girl is probably tired of being cold!  It is worn with time and lots of love...so we decided to do a ’goodbye photoshoot’ with her Blank before we retire it.



Gavin, as well, has his own attachments. When Jared deployed for the first time...Gavin began  his love affair with trains. He was barely two, if that. He would not sleep unless you had all the trains he owned lined up around him in the bed or on the couch. This went on for at least a year. Even though he gave up the sleep habit with them, he was still obsessed! We could not watch a movie unless it had a train in it, or the possibility there might be one in it! He remembered any tiny part of a show, movie, etc. that had a train in it. Anything with a track was a train, and any toy we bought had to be called a train. Now, my little man is growing up and lossing interest. I have to say I am more upset about it than he is! His focus is shifting into swords and baseball..and what nots of that sort. So I also wanted to capture the late days of his train love...;) Enjoy.
(this was before his haircut!)  ;)

How Cute!

Your children are too precious. None of our kids were blanket children, but both girls were/are finger suckers. The oldest actually had to get a special retainer because her second set of two front teeth wouldn't come down! Isn't it amazing how kids put so much faith and trust in an inanimate object?

Thank you!

I love the innocence of it! When their whole world comes crashing down, just give them their comfort and all is better!
We never had thumb suckers...but I always thought it was too cute and secretly wanted them to. ;)Knowing now what kind of damage it does, I am thankful they did not take on that habit! Your daughter must have really loved that thumb! haha Its a good thing that we have come up with solutions to help them transition!
