When we brought you home from the hospital you couldn't see a whole lot because your eyes were being used for the first time ever... this is the same for all babies. So, you loved looking directly at lights and at high contrast stuff like picture frames on the wall and our black curtain rod in the living room. We would bounce and bounce on your magic ball and you would just stare at that curtain rod, comforted. So you may wonder what the history is on that curtain rod, let me tell you. When your mother and I moved into the house she went curtain crazy one day with Grammy and came home with something like $600 worth of curtains. In the front room the window is something like 10 feet wide and the curtain rod sets she bought don't span that far and wouldn't look good one-next-to-the-other, so I decided I would just make one. We used the hangers from one set and some 1/2" metal pipe in two sections to span 11 feet. Then I painted it and made posts that the end caps would hold on to. So every time you stared at that curtain rod it was like a great compliment.
Now days you are over the curtain rod, I haven't see you stare at it in weeks, but you Mother and I talk fondly of your Favorite Curtain Rod and now you will know why.
