My rocking chair is my favorite piece of furniture in our whole house. I would have a rocker in every room if I could. I love to rock, and I have the most precious memories of rocking and singing my babies to sleep.
So we have a sweet five month old at our house right now. She has no lack for cuddling and loving attention, but amidst the hustle and bustle of our busy family she doesn't very often get rocked to sleep. But the other night I wrapped her in a cozy blanket, sat down in the rocker, and she dozed off in my arms. As I rocked her and watched her sweet face, I all of a sudden had this ache in my chest as I realized how fast my own four are growing up. This might sound silly, but I would so love to rock them to sleep again.......
We have a rocker in the nursery that I spent so much time in with Georgia. Now that she's in her "big girl room" we haven't spent ANY time in the rocker. Your post made me realize how quickly the "rocker time" is diminishing. Think we'll sit in it tonight. :)
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't sounds silly, but it does bring tears to my eyes. Sigh.
