A blanket made with LOVE!

My sister-in-law Cari Shields made a special blanket for Hunter this year for Christmas. It is called a "weighted blanket" or that's what I call it. It's made for children with Autism to help them calm down when there having a hard time or as we call it a little melt down. Ours has folded up hospital sheets in these long rectangles that are sewn into it. It is made special for each kid that gets one because it's made by their weight. Cari made Hunters with beautiful fabric that has his favorite color in it (Green) and Hunter loves trains so the fabric has trains on it also. Hunter loves it and even though it is very heavy, he never complains when he carries it from the top of the bunk bed to the couch in the living room to have with him during t.v. time. He loves it on those bad days and on his very happy kind of days. It has made a big difference in Hunter life. Cari also made one that just fits over his lap so he can have one with him at school. Thank You Cari, you are a wonderful blessing for us to have in our lives. I am honored to be your sister.
She also made Cody a lap blanket with some of the leftovers and she even sewed his name in the bottom of it. As you can see Cody loves his blanket as much as Hunter loves his. -Thanks again Cari
