"Normally the Speaker's chair is only used by Presiding Officers but today a VIP took the chair with me. Congratulations @tamaticoffey and Tim on the newest member of your family," Mallard wrote while sharing the photos.
There’s a lot to love about this photo! I also noticed the fluffy sheepskin chair. It looks perfect for naps ☺️
