Help me design a science-themed nursery!

This link just made my day. No, make that my week, at least. It may be partially hormones, but that site is the most unutterably perfect link for me. I am a huge francophile, and I’ve bought some french flashcards with the idea of framing some of the nature-y ones for the nursery, but this is so much better. (It will also be great for presents for my French-mayor brother). THANK YOU!

Think robots. Babies like faces, and robots are a good combination of science and faces. We have a sort of “Rockets and Robots” theme and the robots have been more popular.

But for science geeks having babies, I have to share the song I wrote today:
(to the tune of “I’m a Little Teapot”)

I’m a little rocket, tall and thin
Here is my nosecone (hands make a triangle above head),
Here are my fins (hands at an angle down to sides)
When the countdown’s over, my engines (squat, grab hips)
Shoot me up (jump)
And the fun begins!

Congratulations on your new arrival to be! Friends of the family just used the jungle animal motif…my mother embroidered a baby quilt and little giraffe pillows to go along with it…

After you’ve decided on the room’s color, I say look into nursery wall decals. I know Wall-pops.com has some removable ones that looked great in my kid’s room.

Hoping to raise a poet, are we?
