King of the Crib

McKay is quite attached to his blanky. He sleeps with it and wants it when he is sad or hurt and lately has taken to dragging it behind him, like Linus. This is very cute but poses a real health hazard. While it is dragging behind him, he somehow always manages to walk on top of it and then trip over it. He's hit not a few pieces of furniture doing this. So, to avoid more bruises and the potential for his first trip to the ER, we are teaching him to wear it across his shoulder, like a king. Just call him "King of the Crib".

This picture is the result of mommy leaving Mr. McKay unattended at breakfast for a few short minutes. Our "rule" is that he isn't allowed to put his hands in bowls or yogurt cups. He is very good about this when we're around, however, when left to his own devices, you see the mess that ensues. He was basically covered in yogurt from head to toe but boy did he have a good time!
