The green blanket

My family has a kind of tradition with these green army poncho liners, aka "the green blanket." I think the first one came from my uncle who served in Vietnam. The outside fabric is really soft, especially when the blanket gets worn from use, and there's ties all around that make it lots of fun to tie to things and make a fort. I've started doing this recently will Ollie. He loves to hide under the blankets. Wes will get on our bed with him and pull the comforter over them and let Oliver crawl around. I made one this past weekend to give Oliver somewhere to play while I tried to work. He loves going in and out of. Ollie also likes going up the step ladder, too, though, which isn't ideal.
