Growing Up

Now that Joshua is 4, we decided it's time to say goodbye to "Blankie". He has been a good friend over the years, but is frankly disgusting. Last night, Jason had a long talk with Joshua about it. After some tears, he finally put his beloved Blankie into the garbage can. Four hours later, when we went to check on the kids, there was Blankie. Joshua had snuck him out of the garbage can and into his bed. Growing up is hard to do!

Oh.... SAD! Don't throw away his favorite B! That would be crushing... next time he gives it away... hide it somewhere so he can have it when he is older... you'll have to hide it from Jason though too! So he doesn't throw it away!

that is so sad. I agree with Jesica, although I'm not sure Jason wouldn't find it and dispose of it when you're not looking.

I'm glad you captured that moment with a picture...it's one you'll never forget. They grow up so fast you have to hold on to those moments and memories!

What a cutie!

I feel his pain. I slept with mine until I was 27. Finally, I had to give it up to Cole since it's the only way I could get him to sleep. It's beyond disgusting, but he loves it. Good luck!
