Minkies!!!

One thing you can always find in the Parmer house is a minky. In case you are wondering what in the world a "minky" is the pictures should answer that question...
Lydi as I have mentioned before loves her white blanket. So, several weeks ago she started asking for it and she would say "Minky!" It took me a while to figure out what she was saying, and we're not sure why she calls her blanket this specific word.

We think maybe it's a spanglish word. Blanket in espanol is "manta", and Ben and I were calling her blanket "blanky." If you mix the two then you get "minky." If you'll notice in the picture of Lydi there's not just one minky but four! Yeah, she has her favorite one which is the huge white one, and then she has 3 smaller ones that she sleeps with and every once in a while she will ask to carry them around during the day. When she wants one of the smaller ones she will say, "minky two." It's hilarious.
(Aunt BB; this is a sidenote for you... if you will look closely at the picture Sally is not the only baby in Lydi's bed. She is still faithfully loving on Skylar. She actually carries her around now like a real baby instead of by her hair! I think she has watched mommy and now she knows that you shouldn't carry your babies that way! Thanks again for such a sweet gift!)

Now, brother has his very own minky, and he also loves it! We made sure that this time around his blankie would not be as big as Lydi's. We ordered this one for him, and he loves snuggling up with it. So, it's official our kiddos love their minkies!!!
