It also lives inside of an old bear that had a zipper in the back for storing such things. The lovey, or "bata" which means nightgown in Spanish, was my mom's pajamas that she would leave in my crib every morning when she left for work. It's all tattered now and resembles an old rag more than anything else but I love. I love it so much in fact that I hand wash it every week bc I'm scared to death of the washing machine eating it up. <br /><br />I don't know what is "too old" - it's not like it's a bottle or a pacifier that i have. There's something really comforting about having something for that long and that it means so much. My sister slept with her "nonnies" (old burp clothes that were never used as such but after 30+ years they're so soft) and she still has them too. Lucia is obsessed with her sleep sack. She absolutely must wear one when she is sleeping and then at some point at night she unzips it and cuddles it. at some point it won't fit her anymore and she'll sleep with a regular blanket. until then....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619953390847121652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-34792042542536460502011-10-27T09:48:51.439-04:002011-10-27T09:48:51.439-04:00I probably shouldn't write this on the interne...I probably shouldn't write this on the internet, but growing up I had a blanket and even when I was an adult with my own apartment I would sleep with the blanket folded up under my pillow.

But honestly, I swear that it's not an emotional attachment so much as it is that now I CANNOT sleep without something tucked tightly underneath my chin. On the nights when I don't have Blanky, a towel or sweatshirt does the trick. <br /><br />And my boyfriends have always been understanding. In fact, my current boyfriend always clutches a pillow, kinda like I do with Blanky. :)Erinhttp://www.twitter.com/erelmartinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-62218932867699414792011-10-26T10:04:41.837-04:002011-10-26T10:04:41.837-04:00Oh, no.

I'm 29 and I STILL have Pound Pappy, the Pound Purrie I begged for when I was five, AND my "kee kee," which is what I called my ancient, completely faded pink thermal blanket. I don't sleep with either one (the blanket's in storage), but Pound Pappy has a place of honor on my night stand, and on very rare occasions, if I'm really, really sick... he gets tucked in next to me!

My mom got them for me and my sisters when we were babies so we'd have something nice to lay on, but I was the only one who ever got super attached. I actually wore my first one out (all that's left now is a fist size piece) and she had to buy me a new one. I actually slept with it practically every night up until the night I met my husband (when I was 23). I remember when I was 15 and leaving to be an exchange student, I actually did not pack my sheepski, and my mom made me run back inside and get it and take it with me. Sometimes, when I'm sad or sick or even when I just can't sleep, I still pull it out and sleep with it. The smell and texture are so comforting to me.Jessicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-88826929715482773452011-10-26T06:04:03.399-04:002011-10-26T06:04:03.399-04:00My sisters and I never had an object like that.

When I was in 3rd grade my dog got a hold of the original and I made (while erupting in tears) my Mom take me to Babies R Us to find the identical mint green cotton blanket (which they still had). The original sits in my closest for preservation, but I still sleep with the second one whenever I'm at home. (I've recently moved to Africa for Peace Corps and didn't want whatever creatures I found here to touch it!

My current lovey is a quilt (from Mervins, nothing special). But my mom bought it for me when I was in high-school and was experimenting with different interior design schemes for my room. It had a cool blue and purple theme and fit perfectly with the colors I had chosen for my room. It really meant a lot to me that my mom was thoughtful enough to pick it out for me, and it has accompanied me through some real learning experiences I have had over the past eleven years. A lot of memories and feelings! I still have the quilt and sleep with it every night!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
