ALl you raspberry lovers will be amused to hear that I went to Mothercare this morning (hell, hell, I hate it) to get DS a travel cot, we are going to put him in there with a regular mattress for a while until we know more about where we are living and then we will do a cotbed/bed juggle with DD. (He is in an Amby Hammock, which we have loved, but he is far too big). Anyway got a v wise bargain at 50% off on a cot that I thought would be brown with pink trim. Thought I had to put my money where my mouth (frequently) is on the subject of non gendered colours, and it was a bargain.
It is raspberry with hot pink trim. DH, while an enlightened kind of guy, has Issues with Pink for Boys. Fortunately he also likes a bargain and can see the funny side.
IT IS SO PINK. I am still giggling. My MIL, who had an argument with me at Xmas (well, words, maybe) about letting DD Be a Girl (ie, wear pink tutus every day, in which she is not interested)) will choke. Honestly, it is exactly what she thinks I would do on purpose due to my silly feminist ideas. (I must add to give you a sense of the crazy, should it not be apparent, that DD wears dresses all the time, just very few of them are pink). I ascribe to Bunny's theory of No and No in relation to pink and purple until she can demand it!!
Bloss seriously gorgeous and colours are perfect on you.
LTEC am married to a lark, have 2 kids and I am a total owl. Cannot retrain. Wish I could because my most productive time is 4-8pm. Ha ha hahahaha!! Good thinking on the kids front with that one.
