Yes, I agree that they probably didn't mean that Deorr has those things in his hands every second of the day. Plus, they were camping. From what I recall from the video, the blanket looked a little big (folded a few times). If they let him carry that around the campground, with him being such a little guy, he would likely end up dragging it. It would soon be covered with dirt, twigs, pine needles and so on. Plus, it would be dangerous to have it being dragged around a campfire. They may have been waiting until Deorr was settled in the tent (or wherever he was going to take his nap), sitting in a camp chair, etc., before they gave it to him to avoid it getting dirty.
I have not read or seen anything in the news or in the interview that said the cup and the monkey were in the truck -- just the blanket.
I completely agree. The thing I think is weird is that the parents seemingly mentioned it as a reason he didn't leave on his own. If he didn't literally carry it around with him all the time, then why *would* it have been with him when whatever happened happened? I mean, I could see that some object being left behind could make it less likely that a tween/teen ran away (e.g., their cell phone), but I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting that this 2.5 year old intentionally ran away.
