I'm 35 and I still have my baby blanket. I wish my mom remembered which friend or relative crocheted it so I could write to them and thank them. I'm sure they never guessed it would have so many years (decades!) of love. What you did for Raggy is such a special gift for your son!Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368418516615371972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-22582226841792492892012-12-11T19:00:20.288+00:002012-12-11T19:00:20.288+00:00Oh Jane, thanks for sharing this touching story wi...Oh Jane, thanks for sharing this touching story with us. :-) The last picture is quite amazing.

The parents asked for a replacement because it was such a crucial item but she could tell the difference instantly and she stared at the imposter with disgust. Now she's a little older she will accept the second blanket, but if she's very upset, she NEEDS her lovey.<br /><br />I never would have imagined something I made would become so important to anyone.<br /><br />You did such a great and loving job on this toy.

F was 'assessed' for over 2 years for autism (lead by his pre-school and the local Children's Medical Hospital) and since starting school, we get a different opinion each year, according to what his then teachers think. We're so lucky he is essentially borderline so it doesn't really matter much, as long as he is happy and can cope, and although he has some social interaction difficulties, he appears to be growing out of these. Wishing you all the very best for Christmas - have a good one!
