The end of the blanky!
My baby is growing up - she has lost her last doodoo blanky. It happened last week when we were away in the Kalagadi dessert. It was a wonderful holiday - camping and really being in the wilderness and we religiously kept an eye on the beloved blanky. But on the last day of packing up, the pink (brownish with dirt) and very smelly object found legs and disappeared. Em was devastated - she cried and nothing would take the place of her security object, so we wove a little yarn of “The baby Ground Squirrels took it because they needed it”. She bought the story and still mentioned her ‘doodoo’ now and then but on the whole she is okay. My baby is growing up. This is one of those small things that one day is there and the next is gone. You wish away so many small things in the early days - like sleepless nights and worry over milk supply and then before you know it your baby has grown up. Well thats where we are.
