Birthday Chair!

Our little tornado is turning 2 in just a few weeks. With three boys it can be really hard to come up with something creative and different for gifts. So, I thought and thought and finally remembered a chair my mother-in-law has for one of her boys that I have always loved. All of the grandkids love to sit in it when we are there, mine included. I started searching online to see if I could find something similar to order for Little One's birthday. No luck. Searched some more. No luck! Darn! Seriously, do they only make rocking chairs for kids or giant overstuffed chairs? We have those. My mind was made up that this is what I wanted. What was I going to do? Here is a picture of the one my mother-in-law has.I remembered that my sister-in-laws Dad had made her a wooden cradle for my nephew. I gave her a quick call and she said to go ahead and email her dad and ask. So, I figured I would go ahead and ask and see if he could make one and wouldn't mind. A few quick emails back and just about three days later I get this picture!!


Isn't that amazing! Talk about talent! And so, now I just need to find a local artist to
commission to paint this wonderful chair and we have the perfect 2 year old birthday present!
Or do I dare paint it myself? I'll try to get back with the finished project soon!

  1. Man, Mr. Danny is talented; that's probably where Abby gets it. Can't wait to see the finished product.
