"White"

There's something very special about a blankie. The soft comfort of a special friend is irreplaceable. I have such fond memories of my blankie and was secretly hoping Luca would attach to one. It sort of confuses me because in every other way I'm fairly "anti-crutch". I tried to wean Luca off things like swaddling, his pacifier and bottles fairly quickly, just so he wouldn't have to rely on them. But a blankie, now that's different! A blankie seems like an essential part of growing up, even if he does remind me of Linus once in a while. My grandpa used to tease me that I would get married holding my blanket, so I suppose my view may be skewed. Either way, this is Luca's "white" (what he calls it) and it makes him very happy. :)
