Sometimes Noah gets cranky a little bit before bed, so we usually let him have his special blankie around so he can snuggle if he wants to. It is so cute when he does snuggle because he can be in mid-stride and BOOM down on the floor he goes sticking his bottom up in the air. He only needs a few moments before he is up again and on his way. I know he shouldn't have a sleep or security prop, but I love that blanket.
