We are the third family that this rocking horse hopes to live through. He has been carefully fed and groomed by previous owners. I hope I will be able to say the same for my offspring, and that we can pass it on again too.
An aside: similarities between kids
Daniel looks like a mixture of Jamie and Bradley here to me.
I was hovering over Daniel as he was rocking madly on this new toy of his. Meanwhile, Philip was urging me (as per usual) to give him some space, as "he's doing just fine on his own!"
Which he was.
Nathan and Melanie spent this time thinking about all that fun they missed out on, all because they were born too soon and have grown up too fast to enjoy this great toy. But they are also enjoying Daniel's enthusiastic enjoyment of his rocking horse.
And Matthew? He's far to busy making use of other opportunities to waste his time here. After all, he had a quick turn, and well, there are many other things to accomplish before bedtime!

I love your last couple of postings -- although I guess I always love your posts. I must say, this last one has some great shots of Daniel. He sure looks animated on that horse!
Did I really give you that sweater? I can't even remember doing that! Are you getting lots of compliments when he wears it? Asher always did! And then I'd say I wore it when I was a baby and that my mom made it and then they'd all say "awwww". MGV
I can totally remember seeing pics of you with that sweater on Mare!~!
I got it from Mom for Matthew who'd lent it to one or two other family members after you. I do get a lot of compliments, so I give them big story for it too, with the same reaction. :)
