uh-oh

So last night James and I experienced one of the most horrible things you can experience as a parent. Corbin's special blankey was lost at bedtime.
Corbin has slept with this blanket almost every night since he came home from the hospital. In recent months he has become quite attached - to the point he asks to take it places and has to have it at night. Blankey is not allowed to leave the house except if Corbin will be away for a nap or bedtime. You see, blankey is irreplaceable. I can't go to the store and stock up on more in case we lose it. There is only one blankey.
When I was nearing the end of my pregnancy, my bff showed up one night with this cute blanket. She had made it for Corbin. To make it even more special, she had asked James to go to the fabric store and pick out all the fabric she used to make the blanket. It was my favorite blanket, so I used it for Corbin all the time. Eventually, he became attached to it and that leads us back to last night.
James was laying him down, when Corbin asked for blankey. And that was when we realized we had no clue where blankey was. I started tearing the house apart looking for it, while James began showing Corbin all his other blankets. James would hold one up and Corbin would say "no! blankey?" Clearly, no substitutes would be accepted.
Finally, after about 5 minutes of searching, I found blankey on our bed. Corbin was so happy to have it back and went to sleep with no problems. And James and I were very relieved to have found it.
You know you're parents when a missing blanket can send your entire house into a panic.
