This week Big Lots has recliners on sale, and last week I made my 10th qualifying purchase, which entitles me to a 20% off shopping trip. So last night Matt and I went to Big Lots and bought a rocker-recliner for the nursery.
TA-DA!
Thank you to Mom and Dad Oliver, Aunt Arlene and Grandma Tanner for their contributions to Neil's recliner fund, which completely covered the cost of the chair after the discount was applied to the sale price. And a thank you to the family with a minivan, who happened to be shopping at Big Lots and agreed to help us transport the recliner to our house when we discovered it wouldn't fit in our Honda. I'm sure they'll never see this thank you, but their kindness to strangers is impressive and much appreciated.
Neil already seems to like the chair. He kicked and wiggled when we tried it out at the store and again when I sat in it after we got home.
We haven't picked a permanent place for it in the nursery. One of Matt's colleagues has an elementary school-aged son and is clearing out all his baby stuff by giving it to us. A crib and changing table are coming in addition to an unknown assortment of other baby items. We'll arrange the chair and hang pictures when we receive the other furniture. I'll take pictures again when we have a finished nursery. Who knows? We may have an occupant for the nursery before we have a completed nursery.
