How long did you drag around your baby comfort item?

Question

Let's face it, we all had them. A teddy bear, a blanket, a doll... whatever it was that you were so attached to that mommy had to pry it from your arms just to throw it in the washing machine.

What was your comfort item and how long did you drag it around with you? Any strange places or situations it ever ended up?

Mine was a thin yellow blanket, that has been retired to the back of the closet but I can't bring myself to throw away. It was an everything toy - it was a cape, a pillow, "clothes" for the dog, a sled to pull my brother around on the hardwood floor... etc.

What about yours, or your child's? :]

My comfort item was a playpen- I was still climbing into it at aged 4 but it was damaged beyond repair by the time I was 5. 

My sister has a blankie and she's now almost 15 and still drags it everywhere with her. She took it on holiday a few years ago and mum accidently left it at the hotel. My sister cried and cried until it arrived by airmail the following week.

My daughter is now 15 months and her comfort item is her Dummy. She won't sleep without it and when she's teething its her soul comfort. I wouldn't dare let her be without it!
