re the Blankie - and I tell you this for free: get another one now, while you can.
because the drama doubles when the damn thing is down to one tiny facewasher-sized thingy and the child cannot live without it.
THEN, the Christmas when she is about 3 you solve the problem by putting it under the tree for Santa to take to another girl who really really needs it (or some equally kind but Final story if you think Santa is not where you will take this child)
and Good Luck.
