Drew's Blue Blankie

Drew and his trusty blue blanket are hardly ever apart. It is a true miracle if I can get it away from him long enough to wash it. Yesterday I snuck into his room and grabbed it and threw it in the wash all without him seeing- atleast I though I had. A couple minutes later he discovered it was gone and asked what I had done with it. I showed him the washing machine and told him it would be in there for a few minutes getting nice and clean. He whined for a minute but then seemed okay with it. A few minutes later I couldn't find him anywhere. When I walked past the laundry closet I heard a little snicker. I peaked in and found Drew camped out in front of the washer and dryer with all of his stuffed animals. I asked him what he was doing and he replied "Staying by my blankie until it is clean- now go away." So I did. He sat there playing by the washing machine until the buzzer sounded. I had neglected to tell him that the blankie would now need to spend some time in the dryer-oops.
