Lost Blanket

     Today we thought our lives were over.... :(  We thought we lost THE blanket!  If you spend any time with Camryn Kane you know her attachment to soft blankets.  Originally she didn't have an attachment to one specific blanket, as long as it was soft and fuzzy enough to rub her nose with she was happy with whatever blanket she had.  When the weather began to warm up Cammie needed to utilize a blanket that wasn't so large and/or heavy.  For Christmas Tara had found a small blanket that was hot pink, soft and fuzzy on one side and silk on the other, which ended up being the perfect size for warmer temperatures and our hot-natured Camryn.  She has developed quite an attachment to this blanket since spring.  If you watch her when she sleeps she looks for certain spots on it to rub with her fingers and when she finds the spot she wants will rub it back and forth on her nose.  This is her thing. This is how we get to sleep EVERY SINGLE TIME we fall asleep.  My grandma has always joked since she was little that she is suffocating herself when she sleeps. :) She just has to have that blanket, right under nose, rubbing it back and forth in order to sleep.  Anyways...I digress...Camryn was very tired when we went into the mall, so naturally had her blanket in the stroller with her.  We ran to a few different stores, had a snack and were just coming out of The Disney Store when I realized the blanket was missing.  I tried to be calm as we retraced our steps looking for this necessity.  We returned to Old Navy and upon asking an employee said he remembered a lady finding a blanket, wasn't sure if what she did with it, asking about 10 employees, none of them could identify where the blanket was.  Finally, one of the employees remembered a lady with it and they were able to track it down. Thank Goodness!  I don't think we could have left for vacation without it!  We are so thankful to the lady that turned it in...wish I could have thanked her in person and express our gratitude for saving our sanity! :)

Sidenote:  I really didn't mean for this to be a dramatic post, but wanted to remember this excursion and how it taught me to either leave the blanket in the car if it is not necessary or keep my eyes on it at all times when she has it out in public. :)
