A New Night Time Friend

The other day I remember talking to another mom about how neither of our children had developed any attachments to a special blanket or stuffed animal yet in their almost two years of life. I really thought that TJ would. I even hoped it would be a special little blanket/rattle that had his name on it. It is so soft and cuddly.

So how funny that just this week, TJ has developed a special attachment. But it is not a blanket or a stuffed animal that he wants to cuddle with at night. No. Instead, TJ is rather attached to one particular book. And really, it is one particular page of one particular book. So attached that he puts up a fuss if he can't take it to bed with him. So the past few nights, my son has been going to bed with a big board book that is turned to a page that shows pictures of all things transportation (truck, car, plane, fire truck, ambulance, etc.).

And in the morning when he wakes up, he is so excited to see his book right next to him! Just take a look. . .
