As long as it's a waffle

Jason and Beth had blankies (actually they still both have blankies) and so it only fits that Adam has blankies, as well. He has ended up with two: one yellow and one white. He has a slight preference for the white but will take the yellow. Really, the true criteria is the texture. You see, his blankies are waffle. They are plain, simple hand-me-down blankies (get used to it kid!) but they are waffle textured. Jason and Beth never really cared for them; however, I liked them so I may have pushed them on Adam a little bit :) Conclusion, now they are 100% his and he loves them desperately. The funny thing is many of the kid's pajamas are waffle. In a time of need, Adam knows that he can go into either Jason or Beth's pajama drawers and find a waffle shirt or pants to cuddle with. Yes, even before he could walk he knew which drawers to crawl to and open for a waffle fix.
The other day he found his own pair of waffle pajamas in a pile of folded laundry (yes, that meant he knocked over a pile of folded laundry, thank you, Adam!) He wrapped the pajamas around his shoulders, almost like a cape, and ran around the room happily playing. I caught the moment on film, and even though it's not a perfect shot, you get the idea. It's nice to know that if we ever, yikes, lose the precious blankie, we have substitutes in clothing!
