A Major Problem Avoided

We have a problem! Millie's "Pinchy Part" broke. Millie has a blanket she has had since she was a baby. She can not sleep without it. It is raveled and worn and that's the way she likes it. There are 2 strings that have pulled out to create 2 loops for her to loop around her fingers. This would be the "Pinchy Part". I am not sure where the name for this came from. I think it started because these 2 loops are located on the pink side of the blanket. When she was little, I think she was trying to say pink part and it came out pinchy part. That is the only thing I can come up with. Well, one of the loops broke tonight. I knew it was only a matter of time because they were tiny delicate things. I tried to use this as a good chance to just take the blanket away and tell her it was broke but she was already upset and frankly, I did not feel like making tonight be the night to deal with no blanket. I mean, it was thundering and that in itself is cause for the world to end in our house. So I told her to figure out a new way to use the string. She decided she was smart enough for that and so far, she is still asleep so I guess it worked out after all. I hope when the day comes to take the blanket away, it goes over this easy.

And...Reed ate his first business card this evening so I guess we will see how that goes over (or comes out) tomorrow.
