Security Blanket

I thought I would share a quick story about Parker. Most everyone knows that she has a blanket that she got as a gift when she was a baby. Horsey goes with us EVERYWHERE! Last night I was getting her ready for bed at 8:00 and told her to go get horsey and come upstairs...a minute later she said she didn't know where he was, so Chris and I both started looking for him and also could not find him...we searched everywhere, and finally asked her if he came home from school with her...she thought about it a minute, and with a look of trepidation on her, said no....her lip started quivering and you could tell she was nervous..Chris sits her down, and starts asking are you sure, as we think through the night...As horrible as this sounds, we kind of chuckle a bit, as it's kind of funny that we're about to attempt to put her to bed and realize that this isn't going to go over well at all..It's Thursday night, she doesn't have school the next day and won't be back until Monday....I start thinking that the church where the "school" is at, would be having a service due to it being a holy week....I told him to head over, and find someone to let you in the classroom to find it...I put Parker to bed, and she cried for Horsey....I told her we would keep looking and that she needed to try and go to sleep, and as soon as we found him, we would bring him to her...after leaving her room, I called Chris, and he had successfully retrieved him from her classroom! He found a janitor cleaning in the basement, and asked to be let into her room to look for it! Whew, that was a close call. An hour later when he arrived back home, she was still awake, waiting for him! It was too cute.
