Stolen Property
Every morning I remind Alleke to put her blankie in her bed. This morning, however, when I mentioned her blankie, she began to cry.
“Blankie,” she blurted, sobbing into the floor.
I walked over and picked her up.
“Where is your blankie?” I asked, scanning the room.
I carried Alleke around the house, and we hunted for her blankie. We checked her bed, and the toy cupboard, and under the couch cushions until eventually we stopped in front of the door to our bedroom, out of ideas.
I thought through the situation, looking for the missing link. The only difference between this morning and every other morning was that it was a Saturday and April was in our bedroom sleeping in.
I grinned.
I set Alleke down and cracked open the door to the bedroom. Alleke ran in ahead of me. She stopped at the edge of the bed and pointed. There, sound asleep, was her mom, curled up like a kitten around her blankie.
Watch a video of Alleke putting her blankie in her bed…
