James and Jake LOVE their blankies! I was the one who got both our boys hooked on blankies. I had one and slept with it till I got married! Craig wouldn't allow it in the bed...I don't know why! Actually I had a few, one pretty much disintegrated from overuse! Brianna never took to one, she did have "Cuppy", who was a stuffed animal. The boys I would say they are both OBSESSED with them. Jake has his ALL the time. There is hardly a time when he doesn't have it!
He has been such a great sleeper because of it. He just snuggles up to it and goes to sleep. he often puts it in his mouth and carries it around like a dog!
On Saturday when it was time for bed we could NOT find the blankie! He didn't leave the house all day so it had to be around the house somewhere. It still has to be around the house somewhere. But we are going on day 4 of not being able to find it! It has probably been the saddest thing for Jake in his whole life so far! Tragic I would say. For me it has been frustrating and heartbreaking. Jake's blanket is actually already falling apart, I can't believe it. So just last week I was thinking I need to get him another one and start integrating it in, so it gets his smell and maybe it won't be so hard to take the old one away when it falls apart! Well this just sped up the process! After looking around the house Saturday night for 40 minutes and every day there after, listening to Jake scream for his blankie and cry himself to sleep I was in search of a new blankie. I looked everywhere online. I couldn't find the exact one. I think it has been discontinued. :( I also called all the boutiques and Nordstroms from here to Newport and no one even had one kinda like it. So I found one kinda like it online. I didn't think we could wait for it to be shipped and didn't want to pay extra shipping that cost more than the blankie! So the good Daddy that Craig is went all the way to Pasadena to pick up the blankie! I warned Craig that Jake may not take to the blankie so don't get upset that you went all the way there for nothing!
When Craig got home with it Jake was sleeping, which he fell asleep in the car thank goodness, so I didn't have to hear him scream this time! I immediately put it in the washer so it would get "our smell" on it! When Jake woke up it was ready for him. Craig gave it to him and said here is your new blankie, and he said, NO and threw it! UGH!!! The past 3 nights and his nap today have been heartbreaking for me. It is like we are re-training him to go to sleep on his own. Which we never even had to do with him! But it is worse because he is screaming for his blankie and if I could only find it he would be fine! I feel so bad, I don't know where else to look I think it was flushed down the toilet or the dog ate it or something!
Last night he threw the blankie out of his crib and we put it under his head when we went to bed.
Hopefully soon we will find the old one or he will get used to his new one! I can't take another night of crying!! My poor baby!
For all the Mommy's and Daddy's out there that their children have security blankies or animals, buy TWO!!!

OH MY! This sounds all to familiar! I can't believe you lost it for so long!! We have lost many blankies and lions and such at our house, but I don't think ever for that long! And its so frustrating when you know it didn't leave the house! But YAY for finding it!! :) And how cute that Jake looked at it close before he believed it was his! Ayden used to do that with his lion....he would rub it on his face and that is how he could determine the "real" lion! Oh and so funny that Craig had to go all the way to Pasadena to get a new one!! LOL! We tried giving Ayden a new lion and he acted the same way that Jakey did with the new blankie! So funny!! So glad you found it and that Jakey can sleep again!
