One of Finn's true loves is his little silky blanket.  It was a new baby gift from my cousin when Finn was first born.  It is made by Little Giraffe.  I don't remember when it happened but he connected to it in a big way.  He has one little corner of it that he runs through his fingers back and forth as he falls asleep.  It is his way of relaxing and de-stressing.  It has almost been left or lost many times.  When we took it to France this summer I was on high alert- always checking to make sure we still had it.  Well, sadly, it is falling apart.  Over the last few days I have been talking with Finn about it.  We look at the rips and talk about how it is wearing out and that he might need to get a new one soon.  Poor little thing gets upset and holds it tight saying, "but I just love it so much!".  Yesterday, I went up to the store and bought him a new one.  I wrapped it all up in a bag with a bow and presented it to him last night.  He was so excited and dragged it around all night.  So, maybe we're ok?  We'll see how it goes.  Last night he slept with the new one and only asked for the old one once.  In an effort to encourage bonding, I let him take the new one to school today.  Send the new lovey and Finn some good bonding vibes.  We need it.

A while back I had posted about the lovey and a few people commented wanting to see what it looked like.  So, here's your chance!

The original "white silky lovey" as he refers to it.  The pale blue that is used to be has been completely loved out.  Finn just doesn't remember that it used to be blue and have velvet on one side.

The new lovey.  This is what the old one used to look like.  Pretty hard to believe right?

A side-by-side comparison.  In case you were wondering, this is what true love looks like.
