Blankie Boys

My boys are blankie boys.

Blankies are magical things. They can instantly heal injuries (both real and imagined), fix a broken heart, and protect you from things that go bump in the night. If we're going in the car, so is blankie. (Although it's a family rule that blankie stays in the car.) If it's naptime or bedtime, blankie's there as well. I'm pretty sure blankie would go in the tub I would let them. (Maybe I should; blankies are often dirty and smelly.)

Wherever my boys are, their blankies are not far behind them. And that's okay by me.

My dad sent alink to a short cartoon called "Pajama Gladiator". The boys watched it and instantly fell in love. The idea of a blankie defeating alien space monsters is just too good to be true. They and their blankies are at this moment fighting monsters and other assorted bad guys.

Now I just have to convince them that this doesn't necessarily mean they'll be getting cookies at the end of their adventures.

Watch it here.
