Yes we have a little Linus on our hands now. He has gotten quite attached to his blanket. His blanket at home and his blanket at school. He has a green one at home and one just like it but in white for school. When I picked him up from daycare yesterday he was carrying around his blanket and had his paci in his mouth. I asked him to give the paci to Miss Jenny so he could have it for school tomorrow, which his quickly did. Then I asked him to put his blanket up so he could have it for tomorrow too. Here is the cute part of my little story.
His class naps on little cots. The cots are stacked on top of each other the rest of the day. They aren't stacked in any particular order, so it isn't like his cot is always on the bottom or 3rd from the bottom. When I made my request for him to put his blanket up, he quickly went to the stack of cots and start pushing his blanket between cots. He did it so fast that I assumed he was just shoving it between any two cots because he wanted to leave. But no! He put his blanket on HIS cot. Not the cot above his, not the cot below his...on his cot.
I thought this was pretty smart for a 19 month old. I know he didn't do it because he was reading his name on the cot. He can barely say his name. It comes out more like "Istchin", but he is getting close. So I was a very proud Mom when I realized he was putting his blanket on his cot. His teachers just reinforced my pride when they said..."Yes, he is a smart one, because those cots aren't stacked in the same order everyday. He just remembers where his cot is."
So my hopes for a straight A student are alive and well.
