Mama's Green Chair

As far as she knows, we've always had 'Mama's green chair'. Before she was born, it took residence in what would be her room, and on occasion I would sleep in it, trying to rest as the date of her arrival drew near and she refused to rest alongside me.

When JB was an infant we spent countless early mornings together as she would feed, slowly rocking the hours away together in the chair.

Later as a toddler, she would wake and crawl from her bed and in the morning we'd find her snuggled deep into it's seat, saying only that she wanted to snuggle.

Eventually we moved the chair to the living room, as JB no longer woke to eat in the early mornings and the space was needed for her play. Even now that she has grown and is in elementary school, when she wakes in the night and feels the need to snuggle, if you listen you can hear the pitter patter of her feet as she moves from her room down the stairs to the living room where the chair now resides.

There in the morning, snuggling in the corner of the green chair, you will find a little girl wrapped in a pink blanket, having found her snuggle and fallen into a deep sleep within it's warmth.
