I do the blanket threat too. Most of my kids bring blankies from home. If they're loud in the nap area, I threaten to take it away and then do if they're not quiet. When they settle down and get quiet again, I will give it back. If they don't settle down, no blankie. It has gotten to where I just have to threaten with it and they quiet down. Unfortunately, you may have to listen to the screaming for a week before he gets the message, but he WILL get the message. If you let him up just one time, he'll have your number and just scream longer next time. You have to nip it immediately.
