Chicco Deluxe Rocker in Confetti for a boy?

This is a really trivial question and I am probably being really stupid in my sleep deprived state but would appreciate your honest opinion on whether the Confetti fabric which is flowery is suitable for a boy?

I bought the bouncer today from Mothercare for DS after quickly glancing at the box and noticing that it seemed mostly blue and navy. It was only when I got it home and out of the box I realised that the patern on the navy background is flowers. I really like the bouncer but am now wondering if I should take it back and find it in another colour.

Please feel free to tell me I am being stupid over this as I know that I probably am putting too much thought into it.

trust me, the pattern is not terribly obvious. Anyway, why shouldn't you ds have flowery things? I love the pattern personally.

It's probably not fair but I'll blame my mil for the reasoning behind DS not having flowery things. Last week she told me that I had to make sure that we redecorate DS's room before we move him into it. At the moment it is a lovely bubblegum pink with lilac woodwork which according to her will turn him to the other side as she put it. Of course we're going to change the colour scheme for him but now I'm thinking what will she or other people say about having him in a flowery bouncer. I really need to get some sleep as I think I am putting far too much thought into this.

she'll have fits when he goes through a phase of liking pink then.
Look, just remember- she's had her chance to be a mother, she's being insecure about a lot of things. All it boils down to is-Do you like it? if so, then tell her to jump off a cliff! Easier said than done, I know, but read lots of the MIL stories on here. They will give you tips on handling stressful families.

Already had a thread on here about her trying to guilt trip DH into using a family name as middle name for DS instead of my Grandfather's name. I was starting to think that we were in the wrong for not using the name until I posted on here and everyone backed us up and agreed that she should have no say in DS's name. Didn't stop her trying though. Right up until he was registered last week she was constantly in DH's ear going on about the importance of her family name. I just pretended when we saw her at weekend that I had no idea what she was going on about as she never once brought it up in front of me until then. Thinking of sticking her on ebay but reckon I'd need to pay them big style to take her!

Do you honestly think the confetti fabric is ok? I'm starting to like it and reckon the navy and blue make it pretty unisex. DH not so sure.

I love it. tbh I had to go into zoom on the mothercare website to really see the pattern.
I think "interfering old bat" free for postage might work? what do you think?
