Allison's "smell"

So kids get attached to blankets, dolls, stuffed animals, etc.  I was told that as much as you want them to like a particular "lovie" or blanket they will decide on their own what their comfort item will be.  Allison chose her sleep sack.  The kids all slept in sleep sacks since they were babies.  Ben got out of his when he switched to the big boy bed so I thought it was time to do the same with Allison.  (Samantha ditched hers months ago, when she could get out of it even when zipped on backwards).  However, since the sleep sack is Allison's comfort item I couldn't just take it away all together.  I got out the scissors and cut the zipper and the bottom part off so she was left with a small blanket with arm holes....but more importantly the two shoulder seams that she likes to smell.  The two funny parts of the story are now that the bottom is cut off she can wear this thing around all day (not what I was going for) so we might need to figure out how to address that problem.  The second cute thing is sometimes she asks me "where's the smell?"......then I help her find the seams where her "smell" is.
