We've had the crib for about a month, and now we've got the gliding rocking chair and a book case. We found great letters at Michael's Craft Store and painted them, then Rob used his handy man skills to hang them for me. I must say, they turned out great.
Some of the stuffed animals in her crib are mine from when I was a child. The little purple bunny I actually received as a gift the day I was born, and according to my mother, she went everywhere with me.
I've also started gathering a few books that I loved when I was young. She is already getting a decent collection going. We've got a few Franklin books, some classic Robert Munch and the entire collection of Jillian Jiggs stories. My mom has managed to track down one of my favourite books called Jenny Greenteeth, about a water witch who lived in the Toronto Beaches area. I can't even recall how many times I made her read it to me. We couldn't find any copies locally, since the book was only released once, back in 1985, but we managed to find a gently used copy and its currently being shipped in from Alberta.
