RICK

Rick is the name of Alex's blanky and we almost lost him the other day- well we did for a time. We went to the park and I have always told Alex he can take Rick with us whenever we leave the house, but that Rick needs to stay in the car and wait while we go into a store etc... Well, last Saturday when we went to the park he had him tucked in his pants and I forgot to remind Alex to leave him in the car and then that night we couldn't find him. Alex went to bed fine and I just figured we'd for sure find him in the morning. In the middle of sacrament Alex remembered that he left his blanky at the park and was so worried that some other kid would play with him. On the way home from church we went to the park and there all lonely was Rick laying nicely under the monkey bars. You should have seen the embrace and warm hugs Alex gave his blanky. Alex loves his blanky so much and that blanky is so lucky cause he gives it hugs and kisses daily. It's nice though cause Alex isn't wimpy and he isn't obsessed with being a baby, but yet he can still be a cool four year old boy that loves his blanky- Rick.
