This one's for you, Jack Jack!

I had the wonderful opportunity to paint a rocking chair for Jack, little Charlie's older brother. (See previous post titled "Happy Birthday, Charlie!")

When Charlie's rocking chair was delivered, Jack was a little envious. So, his Mom asked if I could paint a rocker for Jack...a Boston Red Sox rocking chair. This family is a huge fan of the Red Sox! In fact, Jack's name is "Jack Fenway", named (of course) after Fenway Park.

 began looking for another rocking chair that would compliment Charlie's. It took a while but I finally found one. And it's a pretty good match. Jack's seems to be a little bigger, but that's okay...it's a guy's rocker! But the best part of all of this was seeing Jack's face when he saw his red rocking chair. His face absolutely lit up and a beautiful smile indicated I had hit a home run! He immediately sat down and started rocking and with his arms he "rolled".

So, this one's for you, Jack Jack! I wish you many days of watching the Boston Red Sox play ball, and many mornings of cartoon-watching in your red rocking chair.
