Thick!!!

Ok, Lauryn is back to her old self! And I cringe at people's reactions to posting this or the fact as to why she is back to happy Lauryn. Just keep in mind, we as mother's shouldn't judge lol and we can't remember everything!

Here's the story:
Hugh was on the computer (in the same room as Lauryn's bed and very small so right next to each other) and Lauryn was carrying on like she has been for the past week. Finally Hugh had to stick his hand in her bed so she could play with it before nodding off in a sitting position. After she fell asleep he came and told me how he managed to get her to sleep. And I said 'awww, poor thing'. Then Hugh responds 'it's a shame she doesn't have something to comfort her'. I said 'I know'. I couldn't for the life of me think of anything she took interest in that would help. Then Hugh says 'she does have that star blanket'. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was right! This is the blanket she had from day dot and always used it to go to sleep while sucking her thumb. I took it out of her bed when I went to a scrapbooking show so she would have it to fall asleep with. And I just left it in the car for a week!!!!!!!! I didn't really think she depended on it that much! Well guess what??????? Now she is back to her old self and hasn't cried once when put to bed since having the blanket back! *&%@!!! How bad do I feel that I couldn't even figure out what she could have potentially been missing! I feel really really bad. And can you imagine what she has been thinking for a week???? How can a mother forget such an important thing?
