When my oldest brother Wayne was born in 1979, my Grandma and Grandpa Robideau bought my parents a Jenny Lind Cradle. Two years later, my brother Mark slept in that same cradle. Two years after that, my brother Caleb slept in that same cradle, and yes...two more years after that, I slept in that same exact cradle as a newborn.
My Mom saved that Jenny Lind Cradle. She thought, just someday maybe one of us kids would be able to put it to use again.
After being stored away for decades, she pulled it out of storage for her first Grandchild.
We stopped by my parents house when we were in Eugene over the weekend and picked it up. It's now set up in our bedroom waiting for Hanley's arrival.
Mine was from 1978 (exactly the same) ... and Easton slept in it right next to our bed for the first 3 months :)
