too poor. David suggests they hold it inside; Barney and the others agree
enthusiastically.

During the picnic, the group hears BJ's

napkin, he realizes that it is in fact Baby
Bop's blanket; she appears shortly after, explaining that her blanket has
"lost" her.

Kathy explains the theme day to Baby Bop, who enthusiastically states
that her blanket is her favorite thing, and that she has had it for a long
time. Barney explains that lots of children, like Baby Bop, have a soft
blanket that makes them feel safe as well.

The group searches the classroom for other soft things; Shawn pets
Zippity the Hamster and BJ finds a feather. In the midst of the search,
Baby Bop realizes she has lost her blanket; Shawn states that they will
help her find it. Despite searching the entire classroom, they can't find it.
The blanket's true location is revealed when Baby Bop turns around; it is
stuck to her tail.

BJ empathetically states that he's sorry she lost it, and would feel the
same way if he lost his cap. When she declares that it is his favorite thing,
he agrees, but reminds her that she is his favorite sister. Noticing the
