Weighted blanket has arrived!!

As we all know.. Caden needs to be weighted down at night in order to get any sleep- and it still doesn't usually work. We've tried 7-8 blankets, put the dog on top of him and many other tricks. In the end, I still end up having to touch his face and calm him to sleep. I asked my mom after doing some research to make Caden a weighted blanket, however after looking at the directions, and the materials needs, Meema decided it would be easier and cheaper to buy Caden the blanket. I found this great site, owned and operated by a grandma, whose grandson is autistic. She now makes blankets for children all over the place. You can pick your fabric from a huge selection to fit your child's need. You specify the weight you need the blanket to be and to work she goes. Each blanket is especially made for your child at the time the order is placed, so it's taken about 3 or 4 weeks to get the blanket, but it arrived today and we are SO excited! We've been telling Caden about it since we ordered it, so he was just as thrilled as us. I am hoping for a decent night's sleep tonight! Oh yea.. and the blanket is more beautiful then I imagined. You can tell she puts her heart into each one she makes. It is very well made and so special to us.
