Will's Happy Place

This picture captures Will's happy place: soft blanket #1 on the left, soft blanket #2 on the right, a bottle in his mouth, and his quilts all around him. I swear we have our own little Linus at our house. Alex was never really into bottles, and his attachment toy of choice is still "dog-dog" the stuffed animal (although in recent months curious George is also sleeping beside him on a daily basis.) Will on the other hand LOVES his bottle, and hardly goes anywhere in the house without one of his 2 favorite blankets. When we get him out of bed in the morning, he always has one in his hand. As soon as he discards it somewhere between the boy’s room and the kitchen, I make sure to stash in back in his bed. Not 10 minutes will go by before he has gone back into his room to find one, if not both, of the blankets. He pulls whichever one he can reach out of his crib, or screeches until his brother will help him, and then does a strange little ritual of throwing the blanket on the floor and rubbing his little face into it, all while cooing and giggling (at the blanket)! This little boy has changed our lives; we could not adore him more.
