The Old Baby Rocking Chair has been passed down to Sophia from her Grandma and Great Grandma.
This rocking chair has somehow made it through 3 generations. My mother rocked in this chair as a small child. I played with it as well and can remember rocking in it when I was younger. I do remember it being broken at some point but have no recollection of breaking it. I do know that Mike, Nicholas, and I played on it as we ran through my grandmother's house as kids. My father miraculously repaired it recently for Sophia. The arm was completely off and the wood was really rough. Dad was able to sand it down and repair the very badly damaged arm. I couldn't believe it was all back in one piece for my dearest Sophia considering I took it over to him in pieces. I didn't hold out a lot of hope for anyone to fix it. If anyone could fix it, I knew my dad could fix it and he did. I have learned over the years that my dad can fix just about anything.
It took a while for Sophia to warm up to this chair. I have put her in it several times over the last few weeks and she always screams and cries "Mum,Mum, Up!" She is not a fan of moving objects. I have been putting her dolls in the rocking chair everyday. Everyday she throws them off of the chair and onto the carpet. She doesn't want her dolls in the chair either.
Tonight was different. I had just prepared her for bed by putting on her warm footed pajamas seen here and reading books. After we finished reading books, she got down off my lap and looked at this rocking chair and sat down. I sat on the floor rocking her in it and singing songs. "Rock a bye baby on the tree top....Down will come Sophia cradle and all." Here she looks happy. I am not sure if she is laughing at my horrible singing or if she is just happy to be rocking in the chair. We all love you. Sophia love and enjoy that old rocking chair now that it is back in one piece, it is yours darling. I am such a sentimental sap for stuff like this. I am not sure why, but I have a very strong attachment to this little chair.
