Goodbye "Red One"

This was a sad day for Emmary. We finally had to say goodbye to her favorite blanket. You can see the outer edge on the floor by her feet and the batting coming out all over the place. I know Emmary is a smart girl, but she always called this blanket "Red One"- who knows why. She was so brave when we told her we thought it was time to say goodbye. She just cried for a second and then said, "It's okay, aunt Jeni will make me a new one."

I didn't know Tim took this picture of her putting it in the garbage until I uploaded our pictures to the computer. It makes me really sad for her. She hasn't asked about it since, so she must be stronger than me :)
