It was just one of those things. We never meant for it to happen. Somehow, somewhere along the line, my sweet baby boy's very special blanket/bear was given the name "Stinky".
Please, don't judge.
You see, this blanket really is stinky most of the time! I wash it (frequently!) and yet within hours of being loved by the little man (i.e. chewed on, slobbered on, kissed etc.) it is truly a stinky little blanket again!
I believe one day as I picked him and blankie up out of the crib I made a comment about "Wow, that's stinky!" which then turned into, "Let's go get your stinky blanket!" which turned into, "Where's Stinky?" (a question which, by the way, illicits a huge smile from Matthew and a frantic searching until he finds him.)
Here's the thing: "Stinky" is not a nice name for a little boy's special blanket. I know that! We just need a better, cuter name for him (notice the blanket is blue so of course it is a boy). The other day at the grocery store as I was getting Matthew out of the car, I informed him that "Stinky needs to stay in the car" and then realized how ridiculous I sounded!
So, it is time to rename poor Stinky.
I need your help, bloggy friends. What in the world can we call this sweet blanket/bear thing that Matthew so dearly loves? I have heard people call it a lovey, which is super adorable, but I'm pretty sure Brad will never say it. So I'm wondering...any other suggestions?

Friends of ours have a blue bear blanket called "Happy." That came about because it made their little boy happy, although I can't remember exactly the way it happened, but it is cute.
We call Isaac's a silkie.
We think you should use it's Latin name "Blankitum Droolicus"
Just a suggestion........
Or our other thought was "Mr Dibbs"
I like stinky myself :) I would keep it -- no matter how it sounds that is "his" charm. :)
keep stinky. it's hilarious!!! Come on, what's the worst that could happen!!??
The thing is - if it's name is "stinky" to Matthew... you may be pretty commited to that by now. :)
I love little kids and their blankets. :) And I kind of like the name stinky. I have a knack at naming things in a way that I shouldn't and I have found it's very hard to rename something. . . So, it might just have to be stinkie. :)
Stinky...I love it.
