The Tradition Continues

Both the Messmer family and the Briggs family have special traditions where almost all of the babies born for a few generations have slept in the same bassinet.  Your mom and dad slept in them way back when they were babies.  Your sister, Ellie slept in them when she was first born, and now it's your turn.

The Messmer bassinet goes back pretty far.  Your Great Papa Piciulo started out in it when he was born.  So did your Nonna, your daddy, Aunt Melinda, Aunt Megan and Uncle Mark!  (And your sister, of course.)  All your daddy's aunts, uncle, and cousins on the Piciulo side of the family started their lives in it too.

The Briggs bassinet doesn't date back quite as far, but your mommy, Uncle Luke and Uncle Nate laid their heads there.  The name of every baby that has slept in it is written on the bassinet.  Can you find Mommy's name on the bottom?  Your and Ellie's names have been written on the inside, underneath the padding.  Who knows, maybe one day you'll be writing your kids' names on it too!  In the mean time, sleep well, as the generations before you did.  :o)
