Those things that are not pink or blue are pastel yellow or pale green.
We ventured into Pottery Barn Kids yesterday. I'm scared of it. It's like Easter exploded in there.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What is even happening?
The woman has probably tea-stained more things than the entire lineup on HGTV. I'm so used to the idea that I routinely throw black dye in with fading black jeans.Hee. I think I read somewhere that when Marilyn Monroe married Joe D, she tinted her veil with coffee.

Assuming the answer is not "like Easter exploded in there," what does PTB's room look like, Plei? I remember you were having a hard time finding space for the crib -- how did that work out?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sadly, Banana Republic (for adults) looks the same damned way. I hate "spring fashion."

If I only had a brain...
So ... why *are* all baby clothes pink or blue?
I once got scolded by a complete stranger. He complimented me on my baby son. I thanked him and said "She's actually my daughter, though." He said, with great indignation, "She's not wearing PINK!"
She was wearing brilliant purple, which I would have considered gender-neutral. I do have to admit, however, that we never put any of her pink ruffly hand-me-downs on our son, so there are limits to our support for androgyny in infancy.

Because books.
Baby Gap, wildly overpriced as it is, usually has a good selection of not pastel or only-pink/blue stuff. One of the baby girls' lines this winter was all red and rich, warm colors. Only on sale, though, or at the outlet. I try not to pay $35 for a sweater for myself, much less a sqaure foot of cotton for a twelve-month-old.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Me too.

Well, duh.
Of course, I am wearing black with pink lace trim today, but I still think that no one looks good dressed like an Easter basket.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just got their catalog yesterday. It's a mini Easter explosion. Too. Much. Pastel.
IOEasterN I saw peep beanie type babies. So. Freakin'. Cute. I might have to whip Owen up a little easter basket with one of them in it.

I've had good luck with Old Navy and the Children's Place. Much less pastels and much more reasonable prices.
Woo for amyparker. Must go send congrats!
