This is a drawing done today. This rocking chair has a history! 


 I bought it with the idea of spending many wonderful hours sitting in it and rocking my soon to be born, little baby.


 As it turned out, the little son who was born had different ideas. He was a very active child with excellent co-ordination at a very young age. 


 He never did like being rocked in a rocking chair. He was too busy for that. What he did like, is climbing up the back of the rocking chair, as I held him, and tipping it backward as far as it would go, leaving the two of us in a position, where it was almost impossible to get back to sitting position!  That became the fun 'game' of the rocking chair!
