Blankie Burnout :o(

So I've been working exclusively on the blanket for my daughter lately and I have 'Blankie burnout". I had to take up my spare needles and work on something else for awhile last night. I was kind of surprised at this as the pattern for the blanket is challenging and changes every row for ten rows before you repeat. I wonder if other people get this or if I'm just a little bit odd.

My son, dear as he is, decided last night to stay up until all hours. And I mean ALL hours. It was 1 am before I had him settled into bed and would stay there. How did Mommy get him there? I handed him an extra skein of yarn and a set of needles. He played quietly and contentedly for an hour. And if he was a little bit older I believe he actually might have made something! I thought that he was done watching me knit as lately he seems to have lost interest. Perhaps he was also tired of seeing me knit away on his sisters' blanket. :o)
