The pictures tell this story better than I can. I showed Sophia that we had to wash her favorite blanket. We put it in the washer and closed the door. We addded the detergent and started the machine. 
Looking sad waiting for her blanket to be washed........................................
Still waiting for her blanket to finish washing. You may notice that she has her Elmo blanket that mommy made at her feet. She had just let go of it and it fell to the floor..
Still waiting....................................................................................................
Hurray! Blanket is clean and mommy took it out of the dryer. While I was unloading the dryer, Sophia climbed into the basket with her clothes and covered herself with her favorite blanket. Blanket is clean and soft and warm from the dryer.
