Kimmie's New Chair

After Kimmie's scoliosis surgery it became apparent that we really needed to find her a chair that fit her small size. When she sits on the couch, she is just perched on the front edge. If she leans back, she looks terribly uncomfortable and awkward. Mostly she lays on the couch because sitting is not comfortable.

I was skeptical that we would find something that would fit her. It seemed like all the children's furniture that I had seen was sized more for preschoolers rather than maybe an eight to ten year-old.

We were pleasantly surprised to find, at the second store we went to, a chair that fits Kimmie perfectly. And it matches the family room. It's not going to win any style awards, but it's not hideous either.

At first she wasn't sure what to make of it, but day after day she would sit in it more and more. Now, it is usually the first place she goes to sit. She may eventually get down on the floor to play, but usually she sits in her chair first.

When she plays on the Playstation, she sits in her chair. When there is a TV show on that she really wants to see, she usually sits in her chair. It helps that her chair is closer to the TV.

One of the best purchases we've ever made.
