Packing day is Friday. Moving day is Saturday. I'll try to post one more time before the computer is packed away, but I can't guarantee anything. And since we haven't even called on getting internet in our new house yet, I have no idea when we'll be back up and running again. (I'm hoping I can sneak into Darin's office for even a quick "hello" but they've got strict internet usage policies, so we'll see.)
So I thought this would be a perfect spot to introduce a little contest. Give you some time to ponder things through and really get the creative juices flowing.
This little orange blanket has been a wonderful addition to our home. It was purchased for us by a high-school friend when Daisy was born. Seeing it's small size and super-cozyness (silk on one side, soft on the other) I decided to tuck it away for a few months. A while ago we really noticed Miss Daisy wanting to tuck something into her hand when she sucked her thumb. So I thought it was the perfect time to bring out the blanket.
At naptime and bedtime I would give her that blanket as I tucked her in.
It didn't take long at all and that blanket became the cue for thumb in mouth, time to relax. She falls and bonks her head, hand over the blanket and cuddle for a minute. She's tired of being in her carseat, hand over the blanket and she snuggles right down. She's ready for bed, hand over the blanket and there's nary-a-tear. And no matter where she is in the crib when we sneak in before bed (she is all over that crib of hers), that darn thing is with her. It is really sweet!
I emailed my friend asking her if we could get 10 more of these blankets. I'm now afraid of losing it!
Anyway, back to the contest. This sweet little blanket needs a name. I hate the term "blankie" almost as much as I hate the term "binky" so that one's out. And I know long-term that Daisy gets to pick a name, but I would like to call this one something other than "Daisy's orange blanket."
So that's it folks. Post below your name ideas. I'll pick a winner by Mother's Day (that's May 11 in case you've forgotten) and announce it as soon as I can. I have a great prize for our winner too. A prize that Darin even contributed to, but he doesn't know it yet!

Looking forward to your ideas!
