You have the photos to look at and really, how many times do you think they would want to hold their baby blankets when they're grown?

Tosssed that ratty, smelly, shredded piece of textile in the trash. I probably should have saved it, but it was pretty nasty and had stains of a disturbing nature. Plus I'm afraid I have a habit of throwing everything that's not nailed down away if no one's touched it for a week.<br /><br />Hope I've not disappointed you.Scribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178711182424809035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-67316590105019286532007-01-07T18:18:00.000-09:002007-01-07T18:18:00.000-09:00I loved this post, but I probably would've been to...I loved this post, but I probably would've been too sentimental to totally toss the old blanket, too. Much better than my best friend's mom, who tossed her beloved ratty blanket out into the river as they drove over it on a bridge, while her evil older brother cheered.
