Ugh! 2 boys = 2 boy nurseries :(

Mrs.ABC · January 2011

I really wanted to do a vintage fire truck or air plane theme for the baby's room but Aaron thinks anything but sports is lame and will make our kid turn out to be a dork. I think if I could find stuff to show him he would change his mind but I can't find what I'm seeing in my head. If you're bored... I'm open to ideas!

LarissaAnn · January 2011

Hmph. Remind Aaron that pilots and firefighters are not dorks!

burkems · January 2011

Tell him that women think pilots and firefighters are damn sexy. Then remind him that very few men actually become professional athletes. You don't want to set your son up for failure and disappointment, do you?

Mrs.ABC · January 2011

Ya'll are preaching to the chior! It doesn't help that Brock loves balls and will play "catch". Aaron swears it's because of his sports room that he is only in while sleeping. Confused

To make it worse, Brock will now pick up a real baseball with his left hand and throw it back to Aaron. You should hear the pride in Aaron's voice when he tells people about it. It makes me sick!

Well, Aaron, you know what I think? SPORTS ARE LAME!! j/k. Kind of.

Searching for boy nursery pictures, I found this website: http://www.theboysdepot.com/category_751/Boy-Nursery-Themes.htm

They have some cute stuff.

Aaron would hate our nursery. http://www.buybuybaby.com/product.asp?SKU=116161&

I was really against sports only because I feel like every single boy nursery is sports. I told DH that I'd be dealing with sports and action figures for a long time and refused to compromise on the nursery. Plus, DH picked the name so I won the nursery contest.

alyssa44 · January 2011

I should add that DH has threatened to drawn guns pointing at the deer. How sad is that?!?

Nate also loves playing catch. He throws everything. His nursery is safari and animal print. Also, he has a baby doll and some pink toys, and he plays with them (my BIL would never tolerate my nephew having anything like that). So, I guess he's a dork, and he likes sports.

LarissaAnn · January 2011

Tell Aaron baseball is a wussy sport anyway. Let 'em play in the rain and snow, and we'll talk. Real men fly planes.

I had to lol. We have a friend with this set... this is where the argument came from!

Blair! Pottery Barn kids has the cutest train set room in the new Spring catalog:

Train nursery

Stars and Trains room

Also:

Vintage Planes

Sail Boat nursery

I just got the new catalog yesterday and had fun looking through it Smile

Mrs.ABC · January 2011

I'm thinking something like this with cream and brown bedding, a few vintage fire trucks, any maybe a lamp

Or something like this with some old school model planes

Love both of these Blair!

Just tell Aaron that each boy should have his own identity/personality and that you think this theme would set them apart Smile

Vikki2pay · January 2011

I love the vintage fire trucks so cute.

the domesticated newlywed · January 2011

I stand by my theme for a boy nursery, sock monkeys.

I'm sure whatever you do it'll be great.

doxgirl · January 2011

He would hate our nursery. There really isn't a theme at all with the bedding. His mobile and pictures are animals. We already have one sports themed room in our house - DH's man cave. That is enough!

aligator423uf · January 2011

Lol, we're going to do a jungle theme if we have a boy. No sports rooms in our house! I agree w/a pp that each boy needs his own room and identity. It's no fun if they both do all the exact same stuff. Their kids, not droids!
