The Chair

When Jackson was born I searched for the perfect chair to put in his room. Something comfortable and nice looking. I remember sleeping many nights in that chair with Jackson when he was a baby and reading books to him each night. Then my parents bought Jackson a big boy chair for his room when Aubrin was born. I remember Jackson having a hard time when the chair left his room. When it was time to read books at night he would always bring his books into Aubrin's room so we could sit together and read. I also spent many nights sleeping in the chair with Aubrin when she was a baby and countless hours of sitting and reading together. The chair became a sitting place for Jackson, Aubrin and I to cozy up and read stories.

For the past couple of months Aubrin has mentioned to me that she would like a big girl chair, just like Jackson's. Although, I don't think she thought it through and realized that the rocking chair would be leave her room.

As an early birthday present my parents came over and surprised Aubrin with a purple and white polka dot big girl chair. My dad put it up in Aubrin's room and then called her up. Aubrin LOVED it! She said, "Oh my goodness, I love it! Thanks guys!" It is too cute!

When it came time for bed and stories Aubrin realized that our rocking chair was moved down into our office. She cried a bit and asked if we could please bring it back upstairs so we could sit together. Although she loves her chair, she loves our cuddle time too! She was sad until she realized that now daddy and I can lay in her bed and read books just like we do with Jackson.

Over the past couple of weeks I have found that during the day we sit in the chair and cuddle and read and in the evening we cuddle in bed and read~everyone is happy.
