Broken Blankets

Ryan and Jacob both have blankets that they love.  Especially Ryan.  Their blankets were both part of a crib set (quilt, sheet, bumpers) made by Summer Infant.  They are organic and called Nature's Purest.  They are a slightly different pattern.  Ryan's has teddy bears and Jacob's has zoo animals.  Here's a photo of Jacob's.

If you remember the photo of Jacob when he wasn't feeling well, he was cozied up under his blanket.

Both of their blankets are falling apart.  Again, especially Ryan's!  The other day, I took a needle and thread and began sewing up where Jacob's quilt was coming apart.  When Ryan saw it, he told his mom to ask Nani to fix his blanket because it was broken, too.  So yesterday I spent hours trying to patch up a quilt that is basically becoming thread bare.  I did my best and hope it will give Ryan a few more months of comfort and security.  If I could replace them, I would.  Ryan's is no longer available and I'd have to spend over $100.00 to replace Jacob's because they are only sold in the crib sets.  Before I do that, I'd rather see if I can find a suitable replacement.  I think Ryan could be talked into an Avenger's blanket and Jacob might be happy with Elmo.

Kids really do say the darndest things.  You know how I posted the "No, I do it" video of Jacob taking off his own shirt?  Well, Mr. Independence is suddenly changing his tune.  We've had Sierra, Justin's dog, here and 3 dogs running around is too overwhelming for Jacob.  So now instead of insisting on doing everything himself, he's standing at the top of the stairs afraid to come down and telling me, "Nani, I stuck!"
