blankey ball.

for as long as i can remember, chet's favorite blanket has been a blue, fleece blanket covered in pictures of balls from various sports.

and, ever since chet could speak, he has referred to that blanket as his 'blankey ball'.

technically, he should call it his 'ball blankey', rather then his 'blankey ball'.
but no matter how many times i have tried to fix that, it has never stuck.

so 'blankey ball' it is.
which is fine..
even though it makes no sense!

the really silly thing is that holden now calls his favorite blanket 'blankey ball', too.

and that makes even less sense!
because his favorite blanket doesn't even have a ball on it; just stripes.

now we are one of those families who speaks weird kid lingo. 

but i like how holden copies his big brother. so i deal with it!


holden will be TWO YEARS OLD in less then 2 weeks.
it's nuts!
we are getting excited to make a big fuss over his birthday this year.
