That's what A says when he wants one of the terry cloth towels that he uses as his security object. We first used these as burp cloths, and they unintentionally became A's favorite thing to have in hand.

These towels have worked out quite nicely for us, since we have tons of them washed and ready for use. I just picked up our second batch at Costco today (The package is slightly different from when I first reviewed them - I think there are 60 or 70 of them for $14 now). They're quite handy for blotting drool, and he's not particular about them, which means he can be soothed with pretty much any washcloth-like piece of fabric.

The daycare teachers think they are really convenient, and have started recommending them to other parents, because it makes it a lot easier to not have to buy multiple special blankets or toys (that can often be misplaced or need frequent washing). We don't ever worry about losing them, or forgetting them somewhere. Also, whenever the towel gets too damp or dirty, we just toss it in the hamper and grab another one. And when they get really old, they are reassigned to the cleaning supplies. I also leave a few old ones in the car for wiping damp slides at the park in the early mornings. They are really handy. Not at all stylish or cutesy, but A certainly doesn't seem to mind, and neither do I. He knows where the stack is to get new ones, and sometimes he likes to have two of them. What a funny boy.
