Vintage Rocking Horse

Erin got a surprise present from her Daddy and her Great Aunt Norma this week. This rocking horse was Tommy's when he was a little boy. Now Erin has my old Fisher Price toys and Tommy's old rocking horse. (Not to worry, she has plenty of modern toys as well.)

As the story goes, Tommy had it and played with it a lot. He outgrew it and Jimmie was selling it in a garage sale (I assume this was pre-thoughts of Mark.) Aunt Norma saw it, thought Tommy might want it some day and saved it. She has packed it around and moved with it for the last 30 plus years!!! When she found out we were pregnant she told Tommy about it. He didn't remember it until we got it. He said the memories of it came flooding back to him. Aunt Norma cleaned it up and it's Erin ready.

It's very retro and I love it. Erin Grace will be the only kid we know with a lime green 35 year old shag carpet rocking horse! Rock on.
