Inspiration

Last night I told Jason I was going to sit in the baby's room and try to get some inspiration. He just laughed and told me that by sitting in the cluttered room, that is not baby ready yet, may not give me the inspiration I want. All I was wanting was maybe a name, how to decorate the room, etc. Stuff that will make him feel welcomed to this new world.

I only spent about an hour, maybe two, in the room. During that time, I didn't get any inspiration.

However, I went to Jo-Ann's with my mom to get some material for a quilt she's working on for a friend. It was pretty busy, and I thought we were done, but right as we were about to leave, I saw some AWESOME Superman material. Superman is Jason's favorite superhero. So, I thought it would be fun to have a Superman themed room for the kid. It will be able to grow with him.

The crib accessories will be this Superman material I got, the curtain will be red with a huge Superman "S" in the middle. Then, my mom is going to paint a 5x4 ish painting of Superman busting through the wall. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I can't wait til it is all done and put together.

I also was trying to think of names that might go with Superman. Since his name on Krypton was Kal El, I was thinking, Kalvin, Kelvin, or something along those lines. I was then thinking of other superhero names and started pairing them.

Kelvin Parker Graf (Superman and Spiderman)
Kelvin Wayne Graf (Superman and Batman)
Kalvin Duke (Superman and Duke Nukem)

There were plenty that I came up with. Jason likes Kelvin more than Kalvin. We're still not sold on the name though. Though it's a cute idea and we want it to work, we still don't feel like any of these are supposed to be BG's name.

Thus, the name search still continues...

  1. I love that theme! How fun! I heard that red is very stimulating for the babies mind. My aunt would put big red shapes above my cousins cribs, and all of her kids are SMART! Heck one is designing cars for GMC! So maybe it is true!
