Grandma's Magic Blanket

Joan and the girls came Sunday to spend a couple days while on their Spring break. Joan said at about Ames, Sadie called dibs on the Magic Blanket. Calvin has credit for naming it. It is just a cotton comforter that has been washed so many times it is sooo soft and cuddly----. Our household was back-up babysitter, when the kids were small. Often that was when they were sick (hence the frequent washing of the blanket). It was used out on the couch for sick kids. One evening, when they came to pick up Calvin he was sleeping, and rather than bundle him into his coat and etc, they just wrapped him in the blanket for the short trip home. A couple days later I stopped at their house and Calvin called down to "Hide the magic blanket!" He didn't want me to notice it and remember to take it home with me. It has been used many times since and when he was small enough, it made the trip back to their home a few times with Calvin bundled up in it. It has become the "Blanket of Choice"!
