Because of Gabe's sensory issues / autism, he sometimes likes to have "weight" on him. So one of the items that I researched was a weighted blanket. Boy are these expensive! They run about $80 + for 1 blanket. Well I gave a pattern to my mom and wouldn't you know it, in a couple weeks she had one made for half the price! It's a beautiful blanket, made from cute fleece with weighted pellets inside (about 6 lbs. worth). And Gabriel LOVES its. He calls it his calm down blanket because it helps him rest and sleep. What we do without Grandma? Thank you!!
