Bradley's Buddy

When Ella was younger she had a blanket that looked like a dog that we thought would be the "special" blanket, so we bought 2 of them in case it got lost. In the few months following, she became more attached to a different dog blanket named puppy baby that now goes everywhere. She keeps 1 of the original dog blankets in her bed and one in the car, as back ups, but they are definitely not the "it" blankie! Anyway, Bradley has a blanket that is similar to the one Ella has favored and it is a blue puppy dog. I have been putting it in his crib as a comfort, and even named him"Blue" to make him seem special, but Bradley never took to him.

This week in the car Bradley was upset so Ella let him hold her "car puppy blanket". It was so sweet that she was trying to share and help. Anyway, as soon as she gave it to him he smiled and hugged it really tight and just started giggling. I thought it was sweet, but didn't think much of it. A few days later it happened again and Bradley gave the same response. So, I asked Ella if Bradley could have one of the puppy blankets that weren't as speacial to her. I could tell she emotionally was having a hard time contemplating it, but after a few moments she eagerly decided yes. She put it in Bradley's crib and he is so happy about it! I think it is so sweet that he is only attached to the blanket that Ella comforts him with! Here are a few pics of Bradley with his new buddy! He slept for 4 hours with it the other day! I might name this blanket "miracle dog".
