Jennifer Maher of Custom Toy Portraits saw this photo of Marlo's security blanket and painted this portrait of it, something we can treasure long after the actual blanket has been packed and stored in the basement when Marlo goes off to college. Or to become a professional wrestler.

Be sure to check out her portfolio. People are always asking me what they should get a friend's baby when they turn a year old. THIS IS PERFECT. The baby doesn't care about the birthday, the parent does. And in ten years when I look at this portrait I will collapse into uncontrollable weeping.
