This little snuggle bunny jumped up on my bed and begged and begged for her mama to let her sleep next to her all night long.
Since her dad was out of town, I obliged. She's a goof ball, especially when doing her new favorite trick.....crossed-eyed, Avery! 
So, I snapped a few pics. of the little one being silly on my bed. 
and then it occurred to me, I have never posted about "blankie", yes that's the simple name, long ago, she gave to that ball of material you see sitting in front of her. 
That stringy thing looks a, down right, mess!
Oh, but how she LOVES it! You see, Miss Avery J has slept with this "blankie" since the day she arrived home from the hospital, over 5 years ago.
It goes everywhere that Avery goes. I don't know that she could sleep a wink without it.
Oh, and the wear and tear is treacherous, I know. 
One might think, "Geez...sew the little one a new "blankie."
Don't you worry....we have! Grandma McBride made her a perfectly, adorable new one. It's made with Avery's favorite bright colors and her favorite animal, a puppy dog, printed lovely all around.
Nope, she won't have anything to do with it. It sits folded nicely at the end of her bed, but "blankie" continues to be the one she snuggles and cuddles each and every night.
I don't know how much longer "blankie" will last....literally.
Good thing I cut off a perfect square a little while back, a keep-sake, so she'll always remember. 
Sweet dreams little Avery J.

Sweet dreams little Avery J.I know how much you love that "blankie" of yours. I know, I know....because even though it's hard for you to imagine anyone loving anything more than you love that "blankie", this mama loves YOU more!
