One Beautiful Bassinet

When my mom was pregnant with me (back some years ago - close to 35) she was working at Fairview Hospital. One thing on her wish list for me was a Jenny Lind bassinet from Dayton's. Some guys who worked in the building and maintenance department at Fairview caught wind of this and went to the Dayton's downtown to look at the bassinet. First look at it, they thought it was junk and made pretty cheap. So what did they do being carpenters themselves, but make my mom a beautiful bassinet.

Here I am (1976)...





They did a wonderful job (they had to for it to last this long).
I took this picture before we left for the hospital on Caswell's Birth Day. I knew it would not be long before he would be able to enjoy it.

I was so excited to be able to use this with Caswell. He slept in it for 8 months. I would have kept him in it longer but he was getting way too big for it and I am not sure how he was able to, but found a way to roll over in it. It is going in our attic because who knows someday (and definitely not too soon) he may have a little guy or girl sleeping in it too. :)
