Photo Shoot Sunday: Rocking Horsey

Today's Photo Shoot Sunday is from February 2009. Evie had received

this rocking horsey for Christmas and

LOVED, L-O-V-E-D, LoVeD it!

Riding it was an obsession.

She would drag her horsey from room to room, and she would throw a fit if any other kid even thought about touching her horsey.

She rocked so fast on it that it would move across the rug and she would get stuck by the couch. That always ticked her off.

The horsey made noises and sang a song. One button on the left ear made galloping and neighing noises, the button on the other ear sang a song. Within a few weeks the song button stopped working.

If she was on her horsey that horsey was singing to her.

If anyone had the audacity to even touch the other button she would stop rocking, squawk at you and immediately turn the song back on.

I cannot believe that I have already forgotten the words to that song. Two years ago I never would have thought that that would make me sad.
She learned really quickly not to get going too hard, otherwise horsey was bound to tip you over right on your head.

She became an expert at pushing horsey right to the edge.

She has perfected that skill with her siblings as well,

heaven help us in the teenage years!

We were super sad when the day came that we realized Evie had outgrown her horsey.

It was a sad day indeed when horsey was put out to pasture.
