Double Sided Minky Blanket!

Rachel is going to daycare in a few months and I have to send her with her blankie for Naptime...

It was traumatic to see the cot she will be sleeping in-starkly contrasts the comfy crib she has slept in for the past 18 months (the first 3 weeks were in our room, but she was evicted after that)

Remember SIDS? Well this girl doesn't even know what a blanket is, since our doctors scared us out of putting anything inside the crib whatsoever. Not even a stuffed animal! (Well, Hello Kitty has since creeped her way into the mix)

I took her to Jo-Ann's to experiment with some fabrics. She is so attached to her lovie, that I wanted to make a blanket with similar color and feel. After test driving a few, she picked the minky pink.

Hoping to throw this blanket into the crib during Naptime so it will start smelling more like her and her lovie- 

Rolled up for portability

The straps are sewn in for easy access

It's bigger than her - some blankets are so small that she might get cold--this one will be sure to cover all of her

Anything for our dear little Rachel. My baby is off to school!! 

This evening, she test drove the blanket. Moment of truth: she laid here still as can be for 5 minutes, enjoying the "sofff" blanket.
