Real Girls Wear Blue

I am a bad mother, already. Three years ago I feel in love with this elephant bedding set at Pottery Barn Kids. It was the cutest thing I had ever seen. It became such an obsession of mine that my best friend Jayne often joked with me that she was going to buy it for me and save it for when the time was right just in case it was ever discontinued. So when I got pregnant I was delighted to find out that not only was the bedding set still available but the matching curtains were also in stock! There was only one catch: the bedding was pale blue and I was having a girl.

I struggled with the decision of whether or not to put in on my registry for weeks and then finally my girlfriends convinced me that I was crazy. I had wanted this bedding set for years how could I not get it for my first born? I decided to go for it and I couldn't have been happier when the package arrived in April with love from the wonderful, Mama G.

I am still amazed at how heated people get when I tell them about my bedding selection. BGS's nursery is made up of three pastel colors: pink, green and blue. And let me tell you, it looks adorable together! Yes, it is true her bedding is a pale blue but she also has an abundance of pink everywhere. A pink lamp shade, pink clothes, pink blankets, pink changer top, pink bunny chair, pink shoes. Believe me, this girl will not be deprived of anything pink!

Ever since my bedding choice I find people questioning my judgment and saying things like: "Do you have any pink?" "Are you sure she has enough pink?" "Why didn't you get something pink?" It's like I have sealed my daughter's fate as a tomboy just because her sheets are blue. But for now, I am going to continue to have my fun. It won't be long until BGS has an opinion of her own about bedding. And if she leans towards blue it will be all my fault.

Thanks Mama G!
