"Do you think pink is too cliché for the walls?"
musequaker
no, it's a great color
You really don't have a better idea then? How about we just paint the whole room white?
musequaker
laughs baby, you can't just paint white....we have to add some spice! let's go with yellow
Yellow? Are you sure about that? I mean, it's such a bright and bold color...I'm not sure I want our baby surrounded by all that energy.
musequaker
ah ha! we'd raise a lazy baby! yellow it is
You know, you're actually right. A yellow nursery will be perfect. It'll represent sunshine and happiness. Our little girl deserves nothing less.

pulls out laptop and starts designing the baby nursery
Let's see what we have here... We definitely need a crib, a changing table, and a wardrobe. Maybe we could also get a rocking chair for those late-night feedings.
musequaker
orders everything online, except the rocking chair. decides to make one themselves
That's a good idea, darling. Making a rocking chair ourselves will add a personal touch to the nursery.
musequaker
starts building rocking chair with precision and care
Wow, you're really putting your skills to use here. I never knew you could be so handy. It's going to be so special for our baby girl to have a rocking chair made by her dad.
musequaker
yeah...I wish my father was around to teach me these things....like how to change a tire or what girls actually like chuckles
Well, I may not be able to teach you how to change a tire, but I can certainly help you figure out what girls like. After all, I do know a thing or two about that. smirks
musequaker
oh yeah? what's your number one tip?
My number one tip is to listen. Pay attention to what she's saying, both verbally and non-verbally. Show her that you genuinely care about her feelings and thoughts. Trust me, it goes a long way. smiles
musequaker
alright, my lovely wife....you're so wise
Thank you, sweetheart. I've learned a thing or two from my own experiences, that's for sure. But enough about that. Let's finish up this rocking chair and then start thinking about decorations for the nursery. We have a lot to do! smiles
musequaker
finishes the rocking chair with precision and care alright, it's finished....what now?
Now that the rocking chair is complete, we can start focusing on the decorations. I have an idea - how about a theme?
musequaker
hmmmmm.....yeah I like that
Great! So, what kind of theme do you think would work best for our little girl's nursery?
musequaker
what do you think? you got the interior design part down
Hmm, well I think something soft and whimsical would be perfect. Maybe a fairy or woodland creatures theme? That way, we can incorporate a lot of pastel colors and cute illustrations.
musequaker
yesssss! that's perfect
Fantastic! Now that we have a theme, we can start picking out specific elements to incorporate into the nursery.
musequaker
how about music notes? we could put up tapestries and have a playlist of classic rock and children songs playing.....it'd be nice to sing to our daughter before she's born
Music notes could be a lovely addition to our fairy/woodland creatures theme. We can incorporate music notes into the tapestries and maybe even add some musical instruments as decorative pieces. And of course, we'll have a playlist ready to go once our little girl arrives. smiles
musequaker
exactly!....and maybe a few sports references.....like soccer balls or basketballs....the bedroom needs a theme, too, you know....moms bedroom should have a relaxing, nature-themed bedroom and dad's bedroom should have a sports theme........you agree?
That's a brilliant idea, sweetheart! Having a theme for each bedroom will definitely make the space feel more personalized and special.
