We registered for a rocking chair. We weren’t too hip on a “glider”, but we thought at rocking chair would be a good idea. Take a look at the rocking chair we registered for:
Please see this page for more information. It is called “Spindle Rocking Chair – White”
It’s pretty cool! Only $75.00 and the idea of hanging with our boy in there rocking him to sleep was very exciting. It was one of the most expensive things we registered for, so imagine our joy when we noticed it was purchased off the registry and sent to us! We eagerly awaited its arrival.
Two days later we found out that the chair had arrived and rushed home to see it. We ripped the box open and noticed one of the rocking pieces on the bottom was broken. Bummer! Then we noticed… this thing is small.
Please refer back to this page. This time look at it a little closer and you’ll realize the price was so good because it was a miniature rocking chair, for children. It would hardly fit my rear end.
Stunning returned it to Target and we began our quest for another rocking chair. More to come…

Bahahah. At least you can return it and claim "it's broken" instead of "umm, yeah... we didn't realize it wasn't for grown ups..."
January 7, 2010 at 7:44 AMCome on....everyone knows to read the product description before buying something online. Didn't you see the phrases "child-sized" or "3-8 yrs"? hahahaha Guess that'll learn ya...
January 7, 2010 at 1:36 PMOf course I'm just teasing, I'm not really that mean. Hope you find a rocker you love and can fit in!!
P.S. Gliders are awesome.
Maybe it is for grown-ups... just very small grown ups known as dwarfs.
January 8, 2010 at 6:44 AMGreat story. We have a hand me down rocking chair that my mom used for me. It is nice for sentimental reasons, but I don't really like it. Everytime I go to a baby store I sit in a glider. They are awesome.
January 8, 2010 at 7:37 AMMy wife says there is no glider that looks nice enough to be in the room... they are all ugly. (Plus this is MUCH cheaper. :)
