The Yellow Chair

This will officially be my last "yellow chair" post. I think I started taking pictures of Ethan in this chair with his stuffed animals because I needed somewhere to prop him up. Although I have thought about doing it several times, I haven't taken his picture with the lion and zebra in over a year! I know it is silly to get emotional over a "thing," but giving this chair away is a reminder that my babies are growing up. I have spent countless hours rocking, feeding, reading, comforting, and even playing in this yellow chair, but now it is time for someone else to enjoy it.

Ethan has decided in the last few months that he does not want to rock before bed and that he wants a room without a rocker in it. I don't blame him really, he is almost four! Kaitlin moved out of the "baby room" when she was 2 because we had to make room for Ethan. I guess that is what happens with the youngest in the family, we just try to keep them from growing up. So, Keven is busy building a new, very cool bed for Ethan's room and Ethan is super excited about it! The yellow chair is going to be getting lots of use because we are giving it to some friends who just had triplets! I hope they make lots of fond memories in it as we did.

I decided to do one last photo shoot in the chair of our big boy Ethan with the lion and zebra. And of course I got some of Kaitlin and both kids together. Every time we've taken these pictures of Ethan when Kaitlin was around, she insisted that we take some of her too, so the only right thing to do was to get some pictures of the first grade Kaitlin as well!

Here is a slideshow of past pictures. I didn't find many pictures other than the stuffed animal pictures, but that's OK. It just means we haven't spent the last six years in the "baby's room." Some of them will make you say "awwww" and some will definitely make you chuckle! They are not in any sort of order because I had a massive headache after scrolling (quickly) through six years of pictures on my computer and well, right now I just don't feel like doing it!
