Blanket

Vada loves her “baby” blankets but they are just not big enough to keep her covered up at night. When we were at the store today we told her she could pick out a big blanket and pillow. I should have pre-walked the aisles and directed her to the sophisticated blankets that would have looked lovely in her room that I spent so long decorating. But I didn’t. She immediately found the brightly colored Hello Kitty section and never let go. She grabbed the pink and purple fleece Hello Kitty blanket and pillow off the shelf and even tested them out on the store floor. She was clearly in love. I was a bad, selfish designer Mom and still tried to convince her to consider the subtly colored blankets but she had made up her mind. She clutched the blanket under her arm the rest of the trip and even asked to go to bed as soon as we got home. We set up her crib without the front side to help create her new Hello Kitty bed. And she loves it. She wouldn’t even stay still for a good photo.
